family shouldn't shame - because shame lumbers in the belly like a bad ham - it burns into intestines and spills hot green stomach acid up your throat while you're asleep peacefully at the television - no, family shouldn't point fingers like a winter's frost, scowling like a midnight alley cat between trashcans - no - family reflects in the social mirror, and breaks itself down first

that's not family
family shouldn't shame - because shame lumbers in the belly like a bad ham - it burns into intestines and spills hot green stomach acid up your throat while you're asleep peacefully at the television - no, family shouldn't point fingers like a winter's frost, scowling like a midnight alley cat between trashcans - no - family reflects in the social mirror, and breaks itself down first
