Cunning; Degenerate; Emaciated.
The Older Brother
You slipped around trees
and climbed vines to get up high
while we searched beneath.
We search urgently
because your mother screams, screams
I tell you again.
You are so cunning
for five. Already you are
a degenerate.
I would call you black
hearted and evil but you
are not old enough,
emaciated,
a red dwarf of a bad boy.
Still your mother screams.
She can't quit loving
your ass, but I quit, oh yes.
I have plans for you!

I wonder what those plans are? Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteBrotherly bonds are not always fast...they were not for me either, my life was hell as a youngster.
ReplyDeleteOuch. I had a bad time at school in the first two years of high school.
DeleteI can relate to this. I had three brothers. They were all younger and drove me nuts.
ReplyDeleteHeh. I was a good boy until third year of high school...
DeleteI love these stories...a dose of reality is so refreshing after the fug and mire of treacled twaddle family love that we are more than often subjected to.
ReplyDeleteemaciated red dwarf of a bad boy...hilarious !
Woah! That's a pretty good ride: "fug and mire of treacled twaddle family love" But lord knows you have only sweetness in your attitude...
DeleteI know...everyone says that about me...that I am terribly sweet and coy...I just can't help myself!
Delete:D Me neither. The devil makes me do it.
DeleteI very well can relate to this :D Well written :)
ReplyDeleteNow I am intrigued...
ReplyDeleteSometimes waiting and planning is the best way to climb to the top of the tree..
ReplyDeleteooh slightly scary ring there that ' I have plans for you'
