Call your father.
Tell him you love him
or tell him you hate him
or explain how you diluted the bourbon
when you were fifteen
and he was drunk.

Give the guy a ring.
Drop by his place.
Ask for the money he took from your college fund
or how he met your mom.

Talk to him.
Continue the dialog
ugly or not
artless or not
important or not.

Just get a sense of who he is
while he is willing to take your calls
(he may not later).

Call your father
while you can.
Call him today
– if not sooner.
