ADOPTED BRATS
would we be parcels posted
into the same royal mail box
I doubt
but please return to the sender
if undelivered
just call us anything
for who knows what we’re called
passed from hand to hand
start having split personalities
apart from that we are absolutely normal
lick white froth moustache from above upper lip
never finish anything
throw browned off apple cores under the bed
log online to chat with abundant friends
despise shoplifting
at base we are given credit
when time comes to bundling all belongings into a car
as to never turn
to wave or have a serious talk (28th December 2012)
