Luke

my son aged 7 watches cartoons,
while I watch the world kill itself 
with greed and hate

his tussled black locks don't yet know

has not tasted the chemistry between men 
and fickle women,

I am dad and she (my love) is mum,
his world now, his Titanic bow, his Fred Astaire
his Red Adaire... an all-in-one show:
