so you forgot a little

why were you born,
they used to hint,
(and often say),
why are you so ungrateful,
for all the things we do for you?
we cook for you, you have clean linen,
and the ability to sleep most nights,
except when nightmares and our
voices kept you awake.
so you forgot a little,
most kids don't remember the early years,
you can't blame us for a nine year memory blank.
you were always stupid and a little shit head,
you nasty little ungrateful monster,
that has never been good for anything or anyone.

when memories float in,
do they have to have teeth,
and little boy testicles, and baby arms,
and gouged squished eyes oozing from between them?
