At Arms Length

At Arms Length

I understand why you do it.

Not your circus, not your monkeys.

My Drama affected you

You were obliged to attend

Now everything is done 

through sanitised gloves

and clinical glasses

no raising voices, 

no emotion, 

no response  

I

call

you

selfish

you

do

not

respond

And why the hell should you?

I am not my brother's keeper

I just wish that he were normal

and conditioned and accepting of his lot

so that my life can be easier.

There are a lot of competing egos round here

I do not have time for this.

No time

In this Life

For

This
