BrushSoapRazor

There are certain 
rituals men have 
for me one 
of my favorites 
is the elegant 
brush soap razor 
it’s the anticipation 
I think that 
reminds me of 
my father’s face
seen in mirror 
miles above me 
sitting on the 
floor at feet
and this tradition 
I now carry 
but now it’s 
you standing in 
the doorway wearing 
my last night’s
shirt smelling of
me coffee cup 
in hand giggling 
ohh you guys 
trying to be 
all grown up 
and just as
quickly as a
flytrap snapping shut
I pull you 
in covering your 
face with soap
saying and now 
you are too
