And well, we all know, we’ll never live in an ideal world, so, I guess that justifies, excuses, explains … …

(for my brother)
I
with a grunt of irritation
you condescend to be interrupted
and move your chair back a bit
so i can crawl
under your desk
(the one dad built special for you
now that you’re at university)
