Wash your clean hands in the dirty bathtub,
when the sink is clogged of her falling hair.

Butter the kids and tell them dinner,
when the burned bread is not in the oven.

Sincerely,

Father you always were an existentialist without free will,
Optimism without prudence has never paved such a serpentine road.
You never did understand the disparity between altruism and goodwill.
Dear Father,

Sincerely,

Mother you always were the daughter I loved so dearly,
Negativity without the gold of tact has never paved such a costly road.
You never could understand the price of air and airplanes.
Dear Mother,
