forever.
where were you on the day i was born?
were you even alive then
how little i know
where are you now, physically, mentally?
away with the devil?
i am deprived.
you are like water to me,
and i am one day away from dying of thirst
one hour away to coming to your front step
one minute from saying everything

and every encounter, every passing moment
was another futile stitch.2. 'bound'a chainlink...

lop-sided ears running up to my stoop
the rabbit i'd never seen
bounced up each step and into my arms
where had this creature been?
buried its fangs in my delicate skin
a feeling apart from pain
i checked its name tag, anonymous, he;
took him in as it started to rain.
set my friend on the floor as my uncle approached
a vial of his semen in hand
"hey, boy, y'want some?" he said as he came
if only the floor were like sand
the deviant household of cousins and uncles
and nephews and family sorts
none, i confess, are practically sane
and none i consider cohorts.
but now with this bunny curled up by my side
bearing his fangs at the man
he lunged...
