You’re rent has come due
A yearly reminder
It’s not much money but
The weight is immeasurable
I’m crushed beneath it
(Un)luckily the cost of your rent
Is shared by her and I
Now I know that we don’t visit
Even if we did you’d never know
Your cold, dark prison
You’re lucky
The cold keeps you young
The dark keeps you ignorant
What came first?
Me…the chicken?
You…the egg?
I’m a gunslinger with hoplophobia
Chambers filled with blanks
I shove splinters under my nails
For every missed opportunity
For unrealized potentials
You are potentiality incarnate
We tried to give you a Home
We thought of taking you in
But your brother broke her
She…the strongest woman I know
Broken and torn
I can’t even bring myself to ask
As I witnessed her succumbing
They said we could donate you
For research (the fuck does that even mean?)
I’m too afraid to ask
If only there were a half dozen of you
Then we could allow anonymous adoption
One isn’t enough
One is everything
The day is coming
When I will sign my name
On your release
I fear that as you thaw
Having finally escaped your cryogenic tomb
That I’ll turn forever cold
Fortunately I have your brother
Now three
To keep me warm
But a frostbite fingerprint will remain
On my heart
Although I’m pro choice
I feel like an amateur
$100 dollars to add another semicolon
Delaying the inevitable
