Some good news & some bad news
for Dan
1999
The good news is
my big brother got
disability to the tune
of twenty-four hundred
dollars a month,
tax free, for as long as
he’s certifiably nuts.
That’s the bad news.
He’s philosophical,
says he’s always wanted
to pull some crazy stunts -
he’s still so protective,
he won’t tell me what -
& now he sees these impulses
as investments.
Me, I’m saving
my pocket change for bail,
consulting the Magic 8-Ball,
shopping for a greeting card
that says, “Congratulations
& Condolences.”
