My mother has a bad
sense of fairness

And my father a
rude loud voice

My brother has two new
refrigerators

And my sister a few
heavy cases

My cousins have each other
and my dreams a disturbing slant

My family has a lot to answer for I think
lying thinking in this bed at night

The night has a way of asking questions
And my lover has freckles on his back
