understand, brother
presses down on the taut chain
go and take a look
truly gullible
a naive, innocent kid
finds the family dog
over the fence
hanging not in the balance
but dead, clearly dead
for age to protect
a child in the 70s
a sadistic rook
for a lark, a laugh
torture in tandem, cousin
the Ghost of the Clam
murder the fetus,
the empty mussel shell thrown
against the pier, wog
yesterday, I died
an adult of dysfunction
my writings unread
ravings of a mad
lunatic, asylum ward
escapee, you think
in the upstairs den
a small child, tag-team torture
funny for the ram
grown-ass man, bully
ha! a medical student
my cousin, some friend
how my brother learned
the art of pain and torture
those hurt will do harm
trust no one, no talk
no feelings, nobody cares
societal fiend
hand me the platter
the head of John the Baptist
to sound the alarm
ask me to forgive
to forget as to move on
to cause such a stink
no one wants to know
what goes on behind closed doors
like them, I become
defensive and warped
self-medicated with drugs
the slum, I become
