on the bathroom floor

There is no other way to put this. Screw sounding poetic.

The old man
thinks he's
a radical
and he's so cool
because he can
say 'lame'.

The brother likes
to wrap books
and thought edward
de bono
was the guy
from U2.

(Don't worry
I think
he was only
joking.)

And my dear
sweet mother
thinks she is
Buddha.
(and that I
should be too)

The folks
they think that I'M
the downer

When they borrow
books
like 'Who will cry
When you die?'

In the car
father fumbles
grumbles
and complains about
the Nokia phone
How 'the system'
is just not working.

As if
the sound is
not annoying
enough,

mother spurts
out loud
a phone number
over and
over to try
to remember.

Then brother comes home
With a Bible.

It's movie night
he gets our show
in HD but
the PS
is not working right and
there's
no
sound.

So we play it
on the telly
with sound from
the com.
(we turn it
very
very
loud)

We must be
in sync.

My brother and I
go 1,2,3!
And start the show
together.
