(introduction) Under the Seville Orange Tree (and the road it took to get here)
Figured out she’s consumed with jealousy
and rage because I’m a writer and finally writing.
And it’s not about her
It’s about me
She can’t do that
Not after all sixty years
The capable perfect smart
seven year older sister.
That just didn’t sit right
Not after all these years
having me here
Within easy reach
When she ran out of people
To boss around
But it’s not about
She was was once a storyteller too
But once she let someone read one
And saw it was no longer
All about her
And she can’t do that..
Not now
Not then
Maybe never
I don’t know
π~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~π
Looking back, I think it all began when I met Luis
And was happy for a while
She was out of the country then
Sitting on another tropical beach
Have a world away
Saw it on Facebook
Watched as I told you
I’m not really sure
But I just might
Have a β¨BOYFRIENDβ¨
and she found out on that beach
Thousands of miles
Too far away
Little seven year younger brother
Is slipping away
Right through her capable fingers
Oh no.
It’s not about me?
It’s not about her
Again…
π~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~π
She never clean up after me
Never had to
Few sharp words
One dirty look
Get out little bother
Go.
And a couple hours
Silent treatment
Maybe two days
Five max
No problem
This will take care of that little issue
Lickety split
Nothing ever happened
All better now…
It’s about her
Once again
All better now.
It’s all about her
π~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~π
So there she was on that beach
Unable, for the first time in sixty years
Thousands of miles away
Unable to witheringly whip
Little brother
back into line
Where he belongs
With one look
A few sharp words
And hours
Maybe days
Of a few well planned
Silence
And stinging
And hurting
And the last
Words
Of withering looks
of pregnant silence
For just enough days
To make it about
Her again
There
That’s that
Nothing ever happened
All better now…
It’s all about her.
