This is sibling day
I never heard of it
And I don’t have a sibling.
I am an only child
And only fleetingly ever wished I had a
Brother or sister
Mostly to distract my parents
I wanted a successful, good looking, attention-worthy sibling
So I could skulk in the dark alleys of failure
And be left alone.
On the other hand
I wasn’t crazy about
Cutting up the pie of my parent’s largess
Financial or emotional
The long and the short is
I have no sibling
My parents are dead
So it’s just another day
Here at solitary city.
