Hunky Dory

Summer of 1978
My younger sister and I
visited Dad in Chicago
his image:
suit and tie
conservative
handsome
athletic
corporate exec
intellectual
never liked rock and roll
now he was dating
made me uncomfortable
who was this man in that brand new thunderbird?
giant spectacle it was
a job perk
spoiler on the back
8 track tape player
moon roof
the only tape he owned
a gift from my older sister
