for my younger brother -who could never wash a full set of dishes without giving me a bubble bath

you  5 feet  two tiptoes high
double dimple smile walking in happy stagger
away from our mama's wash the dishes clean and dry
you  dirty soap water sinking with my anger down the drain
set of plates half done
you carefree soap bubble
midday bubble bath  splattered on my back
you running  running
away from my astonished wonder
can you really be my brother
when fun marries you so well like a long awaited for last name
but anyway you are only eight
and i cant blame you for showing up late
after all
i stole all the responsibility
