I taught myself how to shave
and how to change a tire
and how to do an oil change.
I taught myself how to tie a tie
and how to tie a tie right
and almost how to make a bow tie.
I taught myself how to drive stick
and how to talk like you mean it
and how to joke. When you mean it.
These things took work
and he was done working with me
when I was ready
to offer
input.
Okay. Part two? No.
But I will
be willing
to help anyone else
as long as
they don't ask me
where I've inned.
