For my son

[BurningSh#t]

The title gives the only clarity in the poem. It has a sad dark undertone. A father trying to impart wisdom to a son leaving the nest. I’m confused if and or when “you” speak to your son, about your son or yourself. But that only matters because of the title. A title not referring to your son would not require the clarification that makes me so curious. Without the title you create more curiosity and no need to clarify. Does that make sense? ? if poetry was all about killing more cats then the more curiosity the better. Your title is like an fyi.

Great work. I enjoyed thinking on it.
