Lost Within Family
No wonder, amidst all he still felt lost,
Musing, how his father in his odd role,
To town when went his son’s birth proof to post.
Fractured childhood does take a heavy toll:
For one, his father far too old had been—
Old enough his grandpa perhaps to be;
His step mom not many a moon had seen,
And looked like elder sister nigh at sea;
His sis old enough was his mom to be;
Confused kith and kinship not his plight’s end,
He, his very strange self, a pod-lost pea,
Could not claim to be his half-brother’s friend!
So lost was he, an alien in own home,
A Roman felt a foreigner in Rome!
