For my three year old brother, I love you to the moon and back a million times!!!❤️❤️❤️ Three years ago there was no one, To creep up on me, To freeze me for fun, To make me scream, The monster under my bed He’s cute, I’ll give him that, But ’looks can be deceiving ’ they say, He looks funny in a baseball hat, As He struts around like he owns the place, The monster under my bed He’s small but he’s got a big personality, A threenager some might call him, He has no understanding of reality, He does everything on a whim, The monster under my bed When he walks the world shakes, He’s little but he’ll grow, And one day cause earthquakes, The monster under my bed

From my chair Through the air I want my info now Truth or dare I don’t care Give me info now Hip wired infolites Something bout usage rights Whereas my info wow Flying flags ever knowing Looking back never going Here’s my info now Meaning without content Exists without it being sent The contents meaning slowly dies Contending feeds on sore full eyes Mercy typo pings brindle blogger Immortal mention 2 NSA loggers Wikimaster with google goggles Seeks truthess acknak for boondoggle Give me just a little push My parental burning bush Life lite the snippet deluxe Youtube the world gone amuck

“Infodrome”
You’ve traded insults with him from the time he could return them. If he offered you which hairy arm to pick, you’d Chinese burn them. His annoying level neediness would see you waste YOUR time Just to see him stand, silver in hand,  on the Space Invaders line. But HE was always there to help you put the chain back on When the rest of the BMX Bandits had thrown up dust and gone! And he was there to corroborate when your day in court arrived. You were braver because you had him there and TOGETHER you’d survived. Then the day when words escaped your lips and you just needed someone to save you? No questions asked; jumped on a train; no hesitation gave you. Coz pesky brothers grow into men, somewhere along the way. Rough them up but love them well for you’ll need them there some day.

BROTHER
We were all forged in fire, some of us cooked longer than others sizzling away in a big black cast iron skillet, popping and steaming. It's sounds like the beginning of a gory old Grimm's fairy tale, doesn't it? We all cooked until we were hard, and cracked. Stones, dull in appearance harsh in action. But you, you are soft. You must have been born with a map of the stars printed on your eyelids, and silver snowflakes on the tip of your nose, the smallest brother. The air is thick with expectation. The words people utter into the atmosphere all hang in the air like smoke. We all live and breathe it. Masculinity, femininity, not enough, too much. The expectation is in our blood. But you, you're laying on the ground, below the smoke and toxins on your back looking up at the sky, and deciding for yourself who it is you want to be. Kitchen conversations in the late weekend afternoon, my hand pressing a damp washcloth to your arm. The summer  had baked your cheeks into a freckled pink, we giggled together. Off the washcloth came with a flourish to reveal a pink floral scented temporary tattoo, our forearms matched in colorful decoration. We wore them with pride for a week, until they faded. You make me better, somehow. The little things we do together, my smallest brother and I, they make me better. You've got a healing magic in your lack of expectation, your blind acceptance. I think that's what the world needs, Temporary tattoos and magic.

Temporary Tattoos and Magic
I smiled today.... I smiled today because I remembered your smile. How infectious it was like a plague but was able to cure a sickness, a smile that came with a glow in your eyez. A smile that was contagious and was guaranteed to make me or others smile. A smile that was a sight for sore eyez. I laughed today.... I laughed today because I remembered how your laugh sounded, how it was music to my ears in a uncontrollable hysterical sense. To the point where our faces turned red while holding our sides so our ribs don't split. How your laughter echoed in a room as the sound was intertwined with mine. And how such laughter was filled with happiness and joy for that timeless moment in time. I frowned today.... I frowned today because now all I have is the memory of your smile. I time travel in my thoughts searching for that sight and realize how life is so fragile. I don't see it physically, I can only see it with my eyez closed. Hoping that I never forget how it looks as my memory fades when I grow old. I cried today.... I cried today because your laughter can no longer beat my ear drum. I can no longer hear the vibrations of your voice, I now have to imagine the sound of your laughter because you’re gone and no longer to hear from. I cried today and those tears were lead from a frown. Remembering how your laughter was hysterical made me cry hysterically cuz I can no longer hear that sound. But..... Today, I smiled. I smiled today because of you and it's been a while....

When you say you want to die, I want to say 'me too', But I can't, Because you're only eleven. When you ask about the scars on my arm, I tell you it happen by accident, So not to give you any ideas, Because you're only eleven. When you cry and I hold you tight, I tell you a lie, That everything is going to be ok, Because you're only eleven. When I cry I cover my eyes, I don't want you to see my pain, So I can help you deal with yours, Because you're only eleven. When things get to hard, I want to keep you safe, So you don't have to face the world alone, Because you're only eleven. When you say you want to die, I promise to help you live, And give you the support I never got, Because I was only seven.

Because You're Only Eleven
He sat there I saw the sadness in his eyes He looked at me straight in the eyes and said "They bully me" "Who bullies you?" I ask him "My friends at school they call me names" "What do you say back to them" "Nothing I have to look strong or They will call me a cry baby" "Its ok to cry they are hurting you When we hurt we cry" I say "I do cry at night in my pillow Where momy cant hear me" With tears in my eyes And speechless I think What has this society came to? A NINE YEAR OLD is crying in His pillow where no one can hear him To look stong infront of bullies I tell him everything will be ok And he look at me crying "Sometimes I wish mommy never had me" I lost it... how can this little boy So passionate So heartfelt So quite So sweet Be going through something so horrible So tragic So breaking? This little boy goes through something Something he hides so hes not Bullied more The worst part is.... Hes only nine.
