fucking fathers day

a bird dog,
her leprous skin spotted under wisps of ancient hair,
pottering like a toddler,
an old woman asking
"please don't leave me
with these young folks i don't understand"
dead conversations,
the doom gate,
rain everyone else ignores,
words that quietly humiliate me,
the destruction of my goals in the name of hedonism,
babysitting a child three years my senior,

trent reznor saying
"there is no you,
there is only me"
and i believed him

I'm sorry. Family gatherings suck.

Dearest Mr. Ryland Lenz Richards,
What is the good lord Jesus' name does "O:" mean?
Most Sincerely Yours,
