You took me in

kept me thin.

It all seemed so beautiful back then.

(but the photos…)

I ate your food,

wore your clothes,

spoke your words, 

 breathed your air…

---

breathed your pneumonia 

Lotus-Pneumonia

And, “dad,” I’m so happy

that we weren’t biological.

Cuz if you were in my blood

I’d be like Sati

---

All the horrible shit

you won’t admit

happened

happened.
(cuz of you)

---

You don’t know
how much you mean

…to you

You’ll never know 
how much you love

…you

Is your ad still in the paper?

“Seeking orphans, need a savior?”

But you’re as common as a cold

And I’m so glad this news is old.
