The eulogy I didn’t give (XIII)

by Bob Hicok

Good parents make dinner.

Provide the food, the table, the spoon, the fork, the home.

Teach you to shovel snow, catch fireflies, shave, use a tampon. Explain

light bulbs, stars, the dark. Remove thorns

of trees and attempt to extract larger thorns, like heroin if it stabs you.

Drink little, or none, or a lot. Try to lift you

higher in the sky than they ever got.

And stand next in line for death, between you and your last breath.

When your parents are gone, the final bit of your childhood runs away from home.

You're an adult now and on your way, alone.
