matched family set

they wear matching pajamas in every picture
no other family has four sets of matching pajamas
but this is no ordinary family

they are all of the same mind
have identical thoughts
agree on everything

they believe in this and that
but not the other
one spring day they lost one brother

he had fallen in love
with another
shameful brother

they wrote him out of the Christmas letter
burned his matching pajamas
never saw him again
one mind, one voice equals win-win
the next one to run off was his twin
