stuck like glue

you have

a bunch of kids, raise them,

take care

of them,

read to them,

buy them cars

and phones,

toys and clothes. feed them,

pay their tuition,

and then,

poof,

off they go.

just like that, they're gone,

out of the nest.

except for Louie

who wants

to be called Amber now.

he's in the basement

still playing

videos games

at 37.
