Family

Mommy's eyes shine like the glass on the car when its raining steady

Daddy says it's not time yet

I'm on the couch, eyes alternating between the red and avoiding puppy's little body twisted all wrong on the carpet

Daddy's tells me to move, my dress is dripping and something...evadence he calls it

I stare down at little girl's body, she's prettier than I am

But she's dead now and that makes me smile

I make eye contact with daddy and mommy and we all grin

The big fancy marble house is all ready

The other daddy with his eyes ripped out (I shoved one in my pocket, don't tell mommy)

The other mommy with herself all inside out

Daddy hands me the knife and fork

I put my hands together and pray for the food all nice like mommy taught me

I think I'll start with puppy

Boy am I hungry!
