I was born beautifully,
\nOn a Saturday.
\nA band played outside the house.
\nMay is an extraordinary sight.
\nLike a yellow violet
\nopening an ephemeral face.
\nMy sister and brothers were chased
\noff to the movies
\nas Charles and I were born,
\nleft to natural devises
\nwhen the doctor abandoned us
\non learning my parents could not pay.<\/p>\n
We were new citizens of poverty.
\nIdentical twins with different destinies.
\nAnd,
\nafter all these years
\nI am still celebrating
\nwith no regrets in Wonderland.
\nBut I ask Providence,
\nwhatever happens,
\nlet me follow the band
\nwhen it leaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
