I don’t know how to rob a family
   of their daughter;
A peptobismol princess they bruised and stained.
   How do you erase an entire sister?
Where do sleepovers, makeovers, do-overs go?
   When the pronouns shift,
And the T seeps in, where will I tell them
   I hid their girl?
Blood is thicker than water in peeling families,
   But when the ransom doesn’t come,
How do I introduce a family
   To their son?
