if a middle-aged man
of limited means
who does not pay child support
buys a sports car
with two seats,
does he make room for one child,
leave the other behind,
a duffel in the dust
to take unasked-for turns
or does he ask them each to miniaturize themselves
to become halves of each other
to simply become one
perhaps two-dimensional caricatures
that form a neat, smiling stack
or,
if that proves too challenging,
if the ache of anaesthetized fatherhood still lingers
does it turn out
that two seats
were just one seat
made for one man
