Caregiving Stories
The Tyrant
Was born ginger
and learned WhiteRacist
from Dad
dead now about a year.
Possibly opioid addiction

in growing families

LeftBrain too dominant
addictions
to chemical acclimations.
Dad left by death
Tyrant's also addicted
and chronically depressed mother
And his only white racist

The shift to heaven in the twinkling of an eye.

Playing with a Pantoum

Of themes both rare and common.

Will flow to...
