how’s my boy, vinny?

he’s fine

asleep on the couch

all color blind dumb and waggly

the only family member

save arch tiger michael

angel kitten from a hearty hell

who doesn’t know

almost everything is wrong

can’t see red doors painted black

but know

there are bright spots

chandler

came home today

from a poets alive! assembly

and said

Mom! Guess what?

remember my name

means candle maker

in French?

i said yes, son, i gave you your

nomenology

personally picked you out of a baby name

book

knowing how fitting it would be

he responds back

all kerouac

i’ve decided to be a poet

and you told me

i am

and my good name means

bringer of light

so my first poem

will be called

“chandelier”

perfect match to gabriel

first born equally loved, second birthed

trumpet

balanced scale adored

all loved beings equal

the most

natural

biological

unity
