iz your family love conneXtion
so constipated
that everyone swimming
N their own achievement pool
bites their bottom lip
each time your weirdness
walks N-2 the room?

R the reruns on AMC
so blasted hilarious
that the news
of shared accomplishment
from your lips only merits
a few annoying grunts?

iz your family love conneXtion
N such immediate need of
emergency repair that
B4 they see the light
they'd rather put up a fight
than switch-2-functionality
az opposed-2-coveting the comforts
of a multitude of material wastes?

and do U 4ce yourself
2-breathe N their fumes
2-the-point
that the toxin
from their turnoffs
keeps U 4-ever sick?

then perhaps it iz time 2

D-is C-on N-ect

B4-U-choke-2-death.
