This is what I was to my father:
Lazy, boy-crazy, phony.
And I must say I believed him when he said that
His words were so much the graven truth
That it never occurred to me to
Disbelieve.
Even today
Really every day
I must run through a mental list of
My achievements
To convince myself that I am accomplished and authentic.
Luckily I am still boy-crazy.
