he said i knew this man
...came in and shook my hand.
...said i'm your sister
excuse me,
your brother.
i thought
"i'm not naive"
told him i'm glad to meet him.
and while he smiled i became a believer
come help me move your stuff
so i have room enough
you can carry this and
welcome me home.
i asked him for his name
his last name was the same
and re assured me there was nothing wrong
ha ha ha
now you're all mine
they were right
you're lonely,
and very very kind.
ha ha ha
one wrong step and the right brother's gone.
this is a big surprise
brothers are very nice
wish mom and dad were here to show them
he says he's very poor
and knows that i have more
and then gets happy cause i'm happy to help him.
i gave and he received
but then he had to leave
he shook my hand and say "see you for dinner"
outside i heard him laugh.
i got his stuff unpacked,
but all i found were rocks and a piece of paper
ha ha ha
please try again
maybe next time you should think before you shake my hand.
ha ha ha
one false step
and thanks, that's all.
