Thankful

Wolves among lambs we sit drinking box wine crowded in the tiny living room
My coke whore aunt, the heroin cousin, the uncle that was convicted of raping his step daughter
All cleaned up in the washing machine of the church
The one good uncle that married that rich girl we all hate
My mother psychotic for Jesus demanding he gets his way at the Walmart
Both sisters looking thin, saggy, sexy with their guts removed by some Dr. in Brazil
The one kid that wants to be a boy
The one boy that wants to do boys
The stoner kid all in black
The babies that don't yet know their family
These are my people
I am thankful for them all
