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.
