ORAZIO CONSIDERS HIS GRANDSON
I care you appreciate Sicily
my own son not really, and me
that place I was eager to leave
now wrapped with cheap nostalgia
a fat chop in butcher paper
I do regret your poetry
a simple man, I don’t understand
and I miss music
DADA dada DADA dada, music
our voice, it runs in the family
but music won’t get you far either
be a doctor, you’re smart
