Family -
pride and love and conflict,
a stew
of all these flavors
and so
many more
all
steeped in unspoken resentment
through
lifetimes and
generations
Babies born
too soon,
or
raised by grandparents,
that
uncle who was always
a little…funny
Some
joking, some drinking,
some
ethnic slurs
The
older generation a little racist
and the
younger one
a little insufferable
and in
the middle
pressure
from both sides
but what
can you do?
After
all,
it’s
family. 76
