What was all that? [he can recognize the sound of pages turning] Sounded like you were reading from a book.

Poetry.

I usually don't understand that stuff too well. They're about fathers? But- those first two, especially the first one. They were sorta interesting.

It's Fathers' Day, today. That's why I picked those.

What is that?

Three poems. William Blake, Philip Larkin, and Robert Hayden.

I have never heard of either but that should not surprise you.

I'd only heard of Blake before I came across any of these. I thought-- I don't know, it seemed appropriate, even though my father isn't here.
