Her personality was always huge –
she would have scared me but I have one too.
And of her three offspring, her centrifuge
released a kid who’s markedly askew
and difficult, diverging from the norm.
The atmosphere around their house is tense
at times – two characters on cusp of storm
in subjects that to others make no sense.

Familiar are their oddities to me.
I recommend that they consult each other,
and find an avenue that lets them be
themselves, but get along with dad and brother.
They have advantages I didn’t own –
I get them, and they neither are alone.
