5.24

Good Master. Why do you call me good?

only One is good. Jesus said that.

Way back when.

I said, I will try to be a good man,

back when

I asked her to marry me.

Years now, and we hold hands

smile, talk, love, wrestle, care.

Good, not perfect.

Good you can go for. Perfect

attacks: yourself, the love

and your lover.

Since none of us is really as good

as we think we are,

or sell ourselves to be

I couldn’t go wrong

trying to be a good man.

There was always room

to go there.
