i misunderstood my place
 
i am your family
but i am not your family
i have been evaluated
as a man in the family
and found to be lacking
as a man of the family
in the job-description of
family man
i fucking resign
the family standard is too heavy for my arms
the noble crest too sophisticated for my hillbilly eyes
the intimacy of our sweet money too rich for my slobber-hole
the game never made any sense to me
thus, the losing gambit
