My father took a photo.
Me.
Feeding Gavin.
I love this photo.
I chose Gavin over my career.
I was made fun of.
By family. Friends.
Doesn’t much matter.
They are cowards.
Maybe Gavin remembers some.
This worthless drunk took care
of Gavin from the age of 0-3.
Twelve hours a day, alone.
Male.
And I kicked ass.
Scrubbing milk bottles,
changing diapers,
stepping in cat shit
knowing I had minutes
to brew coffee
before the baby was awake
We got this
Men
Don’t let them stomp your life away.
Careers come and go.
We are told opportunity knocks once.
That’s a bunch of Bullshit.
This drunk doesn’t walk in a box
full of benchmarks.
Cheers,
-M. Taggart
