i had enough to buy me sleep
two quarters of whisky
but my angel’s wishful eyes
“papa, can we…?”

drive to the mall
her tiny hands holding edges of the dashboard
a bump, a pit hole, tap on pedal
she drops on her seat and laughs
up again, she just won’t give in…

in the mall, she holds my hand

she hops the wagon, pulls me along…

in the gaming zone
she looks around
thoughtfully picks up her first
a ritual before the spree
then from one joyride to another
her eyes beaming with life
she waves at me
“papa…”

and i wonder when will i…?
