and drink.
each with
one in hand. uncle bill
is on
the deck smoking.
sister jane
is in bathroom crying.
the sisters
aren't talking,
the brothers are gathered
around the game.
a grandmother needs
help down
the stairs.
children
are already full of cookies.
as the oven
heats the house.
the dogs need walking.
the cat is on the table.
the phone is ringing.
the smoke
alarms blares.
the young folk are staring
at their phones.
wondering,
just why are we here.
