A neighbor’s family reunion several years ago
An outdoor cookout, matching caps, matching tees
Smoke from the barbecue, lemonade, paper plates
Checkered tablecloths, checkered histories
The mother died last year, a daughter divorced
The ex is gone, maybe photoshop him out?
The grandson on the left ran off with his boyfriend
“All you need is the Bible,” they said, but he wanted
more
And that figure on the right? Shhhh, shhhh -
No one even whispers
about him now
