Millard has tried to heed his father’s #reproach

“You are weak, Millard. You are susceptible to the wiles of loose women and libation. You have no self-discipline,” his father had said in a searing lecture that May morning when he was summarily dispatched to Boston University to study economics.

“Make something of yourself,” his father had said. “Prove you are worthy.”

Millard could feel the heat on his face even after all these months.

Rapprochement

My god, and
Literally so
You’d think we
Were Catholic
The way you
Monastically intone
Project and hurl
The improperia
Like guided
Munitions
Sent to wound
Subdue and silence
You ever and
Always however
Beyond reproach
Immaculate perfect
Beautifully proper
I used this knowing
Both for and against you
That time you
Broke your hip
Came to live with me
Those half dozen months
In periodic throes
Of dementia I watched you
Suffer delirium tremens
Regain most of your mind
I cooked for
Cleaned up after
Ferried you to
Appointments
Guided you through
Various therapies
You’d get your back up
Willfully from time to time
I would need only remind you
How smart you were
How elegant and graceful
How accomplished
You’d shape shift
Right before our eyes
Recalcitrant to accommodating
Puffed up and swelling
Effrontery pointing outward
Ingested transmuted
Alchemically became
A magic potion
By all the gods
You were something
