"The Sun, The Moon, and Everything" by Laurie Molloy

Is the wind the master of the sky
or the sky the master of the wind?
It is like the question of the chicken
or the egg - what comes first?
No one knows except my dad,
he knows everything, probably
the same as your dad.
Next time you ponder the meaning of life
or what came before what
or why something came do be -
remember who knows and will always know
everything there is.

Who will fix my broken car?
the leaking pipe my mom complains
all day about
the leaves stuck in the guitar
the broken heart he left me with
the rays of the sun
if they are not bright enough
I know my dad can
he can fix anything

next time you are broken
remember your dad
next time you are not sure
of the answer
ask your dad

and remember
if your dad is broken
it is easy to fix
just call and say
i love you
