regrets and guilt
suddenly surfacing after forty years:
In the early eighties
Dad wanted a video recorder
because his shifts made him miss his favourites.
Sue advised VHS and I, Betamax
because that was format of college cameras.
He bought the latter,
citing my educational needs
and the format crashed a few months later.
Sorry, Dad.
I gave you bad advice.
I'm glad he died before computers
else I'd probably suggested Apple.
