My Father Is a Simple Man


Luis Omar Salinas





I walk to town with my father


to buy a newspaper. He walks slower


than I do so I must slow up.


The street is filled with children.


We argue about the price


of pomegranates, I convince


him it is the fruit of scholars.


He has taken me on this journey


and it's been lifelong.


He's sure I'll be healthy


so long as I eat more oranges,


and tells me the orange


has seeds and so is perpetual;


and we too will come back


like the orange trees.


I ask him what he thinks


about death and he says


he will gladly face it when


it comes but won't jump


out in front of a car.


I'd gladly give my life


for this man with a sixth


grade education, whose kindness


and patience are true . . .


The truth of it is, he's the scholar,


and when the bitter-hard reality


comes at me like a punishing


evil stranger, I can always


remember that here was a man


who was a worker and provider,


who learned the simple facts


in life and lived by them,


who held no pretense.


And when he leaves without


benefit of fanfare or applause


I shall have learned what little


there is about greatness.
