the family tree just fell on me and it didn’t feel very good

anger doesn’t look good on me and not much better on you

no one responded well and they never do

so the brother who was always passive and tried to get along

has passed away and in his place a tiger now roams the halls of a hospital

looking for a doctor to explain why he only has ten toes

in our insanity all of us are capable of tying a rock around a question

and being totally baffled when it hits the addressee and blood streaming down their face

they seem reluctant to engage, go figure

i ‘ve seen you go through phases as well as you have seen mine

let pray this phase will be over soon and the staff doesn’t end up looking for another bed

the truth is often a pain in the ass, no pun intended Mom, hope your spot on your butt gets better

but it is still the truth
