that any nothing
can be a thing
with the wave of a tragic wand
and actual things are left outside
to carry every piece of blame
there can surely be no shame
in calling out
another tender poem

are legless
having drunk too much
of life
but follow somehow
in our footsteps
like love's
weary
echo

"I abhor cousin Stewy, it's true.
But don't judge me for feuding with Stu:
Yes I #harbor a grudge,
And I'm NOT gonna budge
Cuz he 'borrowed' and wrecked my canoe."
