Scam Family

Damn these strangers
Whom we live amidst.
How did they convince us
To expend so much energy
On such sorry little so-and-sos?

Ya f*ck one sheep
& now yer a shepherd?
Choose one soul to know
Then all these others come strolling
Thru the narrow doorway
(son daughter daughter son)
Already bawling for the maul
To take a hammer to yr early years.

What a sham.
Do not play it again, Sam!
Tis the luv theme that got me
Involved in this imbroglio in the first place,
Reliving the worst adolescent parts
Overnovernovernover.

Prior to this damn fam sham scam
I wuz gonna be a bum
Maybe make one amazing thing
Then die at 27
Just like all my socalled heroes.

Cut to decades later:
I’m still livid quick
Kept on deck well past my sell by
To zombie out the daddy dole:
Gimme money
Drive me places
Kiss my booboos
Kiss my arse–
This some darkart domestic hoodoo
Here.

To conclude:
Stay single;
The well met marriage is an urban myth
An aspirational assumption
Making donkeys outta you & me.
We should shake hands
Thus part as friends
For fear our limbs might get enmeshed
Then spend the span untying knots
Only to end full duped clear thru,
Two more fools
Soon parted from our hearts.
