Poem
Your not going to believe this but I forgot that Jeanne Rosemary comes before Robert Earl.Probably because I am mad at her for not trying hard enough to live.She was the one who wagged me as her very own baby spit and sh*t.None of us came out of this unscathed and she has spoke of and embraced death her whole life.As I love her especially it hurts especially. O.K. Where were we,oh yeah next my Sweet Darlene. Then my brother Cecil Dallen..aka Dallen,Mick,Mr.Mick.....The first of the survivors to succumb.I wrote about him on short stories.Then my brother Raymond Adali born on election day named in part for Moms vote that wiped out Dads.Aka Gilbert after Gilbert Webb for some reason as he obviously belonged to both parties previously indicted ,a true melding of the two.I now call him Gilber as the French would .He and I are good,close friends,as well as family.Then myself...Vickey Loretta aka vine,viney,Torie...Mary Neomi... Aka Pode or Podie and finally the baby Debra Star....Aka Stimey,Yacky,......That's the crop. As forewarned we will now embark upon stormy seas. My mom told me that my paternal grandfather beat my dad with a cane pole Shortly after they married in the old man's yard in front of his new bride.Not only that my Dad a young man of 22 stood there and took it. How is this possible? I believe for two reasons.1.That generation viewed respect of parents in a way beyond present comprehension.2.His spirit had been decimated to the point he could not respond otherwise. My mother hated my father's father.Once she heard him outside the courthouse refer to intercourse in it's social aspect and said in her retelling" That old fool everybody knows that means screwing" She had a gift for that sort of thing.She called Birmingham burning ham.The youngest of her progeny has inherited this particular trait .Once while describing to me dealing with pain she said, "Vick it was so bad I curled up in the fertile position." She's most definitely mama's baby. So are we starting to see some ground work laid here for some grade A chaos? It was a minefield.You never knew what would set him off.One day you could walk between him and the tv during the news ,the next it was Katy bar the door.If someone got injured all present got whipped.If you woke him ditto. I need to clarify the word all at this point.All except the oldest and the baby. Here's my theory on this.The oldest was spared As she had proven to be unfit for the programs rigors...Later dear hearts
