Easter Wouldn't Be Complete Without Choking Someone Out (Free verse) by horus8
Oh, what a lovely ham I think
(Smell them pineapples!?)
before pounding a 5th of Wild-
Turkey. Leaping over the table,
and kicking the holy shit out
of your stupid fucking uncle,
and dumb ass dad...
Fake green grass in my hair,
and halved & coloured plastic eggs
scattering everywhere in the kitchen as
my elbow lands in the 'Welcome
back Jesus Cake'. Your aunt
Matilda (with lisp) beating me over the
head with that sweet potato spoon.
I recall my first hemp sack race,
and how I was surrounded
by laughing children and
love. Although, I was lonelier
than ever... I was always
the kid breaking windows,
and writing sentences saying
"I shall not lie to my elders".
Smoking outside on those early
Spring mornings and afternoons.
Avoiding their eyes, and how they
felt sorry for me, and my poor busted
family. My dad sketching my Easters out
for me on legal pad paper from prison.
Mother, drug crazy on that island...
Somehow all of the yellows and purples
along with the sugar and small talk
has always made me sick of you.
Holiday friends, and family, so full
of shit and petty insecurities...
All of the Cool Hand Lukes in
the world couldn't swallow the
incessant amount of rotten eggs
you boil to fatten your brood.
You were never my family.
You made me feel about as
'at home' as a nigger in Switzerland.
Watching you grow into your
pig suits and stack on all of that
extra weight is merely a consolation
prize in the grand scheme of things
A basket full of old candy memories.
