issues
My little brother has issues
he hangs himself in the closet –
No, not like that
I mean on a coat hanger
Inside his shirt
I used to bring girls
to the house to show them
what I was dealing with
“What is wrong with him?”
they might ask
“Is he asleep?” one said once
I told her “I think we are
all asleep, only he is awake.”
Another girl described him
as a lighthouse beacon
for errant ferrets
I asked for her hand in marriage.
