[Cadaverous Pallor]

"You're all morons" he snarled
and I laughed out loud
this couldn't be real

He actually doesn't see
how foolish he looks
and is

Later, after, mumbled:
"You guys think I'm a moron."
I felt like laughing again
but stifled it in the face of his
obvious misery

Whenever I feel helpless
I think of my Dad
At the whim of forces
I've already IDed in myself
and have at least
attempted to slay
