the family gathering

you order up a few straight
jackets for the next
family meeting.
one large, one extra large.
duct tape too,
and pepper spray.
you buy two masks,
similar to the one
used on Hannibal
Lechter,
leather with a small barred
grate to breathe
through. one size fits all.
you purchase
a bottle of valium, here,
take two!
you are determined
to make this next
family gathering
peaceful and fun, perhaps
with drinks
and finger foods.
