Holiday in Series

You broke the lamp
and glued it back together so well
and stole from the corner store
and got caught
and read comic books
when I told you to clean your room

so

the beatings will continue
and the Christmas presents
you wanted are
indefinitely discontinued

because I never change
and you are

a mistake
after all.

It's okay, though.
Eventually I'll get old and
I am fantastically short sighted and
when you are taking
care of me and
I rely on you
for every little thing

it will be your Christmas every day
I sit in my own shit.
