Prompt: Throwing away the alarm clock

and have met some strange, wonderful people

one of whom was

myself—someone my father

never knew.’

“Throwing Away the Alarm Clock” by Charles Bukowski, from The Flash of Lighting Behind the Mountain. © Harper Collins, 2004. Read the full poem.

I love this poem.

Today’s prompt is fairly simple, but may hopefully get to something more complex

What would/does your father think of the person you are? And how much does that opinion matter? How are you ‘throwing away the alarm clock’?

Happy journaling.
