the family

is any family
tight,
close.
blood bound by
parental
birth?
are we doomed to
like
each other despite
our differences,
or love even,
a reach hard to find
with anyone,
no matter how nice.
it's myth,
i think,
as i look around
at my
brood,
my brothers and sisters
who can't
gather for a meal,
or wedding,
or funeral
without a fight.
