LITTLE BROTHER

We laugh at you behind your back.

We'd do it to your front

but we never let you stick around.

We find you foolish, foppish, faintly freakish.

We do not tolerate you.

We do not relate to you.

We lack any innate sympathy for you.

We don't like you

we don't love you

we have little use for you

except as a buoy

to avoid

at most costs.

We don't want you around

we don't.

But your big sister

well, that's another story.

Think you could pick her up at nine?
