schizophrenic

i am an actress

according to my uncle

my ma and pa were not wild

he called me peaches as a child

he views life through the lens of foggy imaginary bifocals

he says god sent me to test his faith

i suppose as devil's advocate

he looks me in the eyes

and laughs

and asks how much they pay me

 

i once saw him during a trip

he may have appeared obsessed with the maryland rails

but he also may be wildly pursuing a withheld pension

 

he will introduce himself as henry VIII

but that is not the name my mom-mom gave him
