from scratch because I have an itch a 'splendid' revision

From Scratch Because I Have An Itch


The day your sister disses you on Facebook
because you spelled your niece's name wrong
you want to split
the atom or a blister on your
heel, you're not supposed to, but

if you don't know something
you have a hard time getting it right,
you might even do it all wrong
though you mean well.
And you know

family is the torque
of the spinning pot
standing on its lone foot.
Who knows
how it does that?
