Netflix is full of movies about fathers
in arm chair recliners watching tv,
beer after beer in brown necked bottles.

I watch the movies
loving the son and hating the father
and filling a glass
and filling a glass. And watching tv
and watching the glass. And pouring a glass.
and pouring a glass. And welling the tears
and barring the tears.

But this is not my life.
It is only me talking in my sleep
and you wondering what language I speak
to men on tv before I come to bed.
