.
Men were not meant to sit at desks
for nine hours while dreaming about
bullfighters in Mexico City, and those
drunks at the local dime and shine
wondering if they had the right idea.
Men were not meant to lie around
on weeknights staring at brightly
lit but always unsatisfying images
of death and love, intertwined like
a strange dance that the bulls can
relate too. Men were not meant to
idle through their days wondering
if they have wasted their lives,
while the kids move away and forget
their love, and the wife finds a new
attention-giver with a faster car.
Men were not meant to start over
at fifty-three wishing for once
they could lift a red veil and
feel the bulls brush against them.

My Father, The Bullfighter
