the generations have all past that remember when
it used to be typical to have multiple sets of multiples
by natural cause without chemical intervention
and take care of them and the grandparents too
all under one roof on one property
paid for by
blood, sweat, tears,
back breaking work,
and the whole entire family efforts--
what happens when that
societal norm is so long
dead and forgotten--
replaced by
the network buying the home,
as part of the contract of exploitation,
and deeding it to the children,
so it is not a marital asset,
(so when it ends it will be cleaner)
and when it does end,
all anybody can say is,
"i just couldn't stay"even though, we still remember
that it
used to work to stay,
to
remain, in generations before,
but anymore we just can't seem to--
what happens then,
when no one can even
remember a time,
when there were people who
built lifetimes together,
family trees that lived hundreds of years.

I miss you.
makes me sad. but solomon said the time of mourning was better than the time of feasting..maybe because the dead thing was so much more valuable than even the most lavish party...
