Sherman Alexie - Father Poem (From the film The Business Of Dancydancing)

I want my father to be your father
I want my father's sins to be all sins
By my proxy I want you to forgive my father
For I cannot forgive him in solitude
Please crowd my father
Interrogate him for days about sins and salvation
For him to list his sins by asperity
If you can forgive, perhaps I can forgive my father
Because father's sins, children must forgive
