meet the siblings

Carol, me, Allen, Cam, Katie, Mary

i came across an old poem today and was reminded that one of the reasons i love my siblings so much is that they make me laugh until i cry. this piece is entitled 51 because it belongs in a series....

51

two sisters and a brother and i watched

dad sleep in his chair yesterday

his legs practically running a marathon

and

we began discussing restless leg syndrome

only we call it

jumpy legs

or

the heebie-jeebies

me –

it feels like i have strings inside my leg bones

that come out the soles of my feet

and

someone starts pulling on them

like a marionette

katie –

it’s like my blood is running backwards

but

not angry backwards

cam –

my toenails itch….

katie –

oh yeah

itchy toenails is a

big sign

of the heebie-jeebies

and the laughing-till-we-cried?

soul food

what do you love about your siblings?
