- just like me
he's a gadgets man.
he'd fiddle with the video
every weekend,
flicking through the channels
while flicking ash
into his beer can.
he'd curse at it
lyrically,
like a song.
'you feckin' heap of crap!'
he'd say.
'do you see this son?
never buy a gadget
without its
brand name on!'
he'd decide to take it apart.
he'd start with the outer casing,
side panels,
then the circuits,
wires and diodes,
which he'd lay out on the floor.
he never used a screwdriver.
he swore by the butterknife.
just one memory
of my dad back then.
the gadgets man
who gave me life...
