Like Him by Aaron Smith.
I am always a little in awe of narrative poems like this. Because even though I see it there on the page and hear it when as I read it aloud, I still marvel that this everyday speech about common emotions and relations can somehow be a poem.
I like how this poem talks about fathers/sons and maleness. There is such a current of anger tinged with sadness through it.
Favorite line: "like him, like men: / the meanest guy wins, don't ever apologize."
