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
