STRANGE FAMILY

Grandfather's dying
& sister is crying
& Mother's in hospital
with tube up her nose.

Grandma is bitching
& Uncle is pitching
to boy cousin wearing
my pink fishnet hose.

Sister is married
to an ass of a man
who gave her bright children
& my niece: JILLY ANNE.

Father's side Aunt
sends me holiday e-mail
but replies don't get through
& leave me quite pale.

The paler I get
the more I am lazy
so I'm just like dad
except my dad's crazy.

I sit here & write
while boy dreams in bed
& I'm glad that he's here
'cause I like giving head...

I love the way boys come
& take me away
so I can forget that
my family's afraid -
of what I may write;
what I'll leave unwritten...

Because I'm not that shy
even though I've been bitten.
