just a tad askew

because
he was so neat and clean,
annoyingly
so,
so perfect
in measuring every
inch
of the room, in placing
things
in just the right place,
i tilted each
picture on the wall
before i left,
a mere
quarter inch
off balance.
we loved each other like
that,
in a strange, but
brotherly
way.
