Charged

 You are your brother's keeper

after all, though you don't know him,

or even trust him any further than

you honestly would throw him.

He doesn't look like you, or

not enough, but if you and

he were standing together

faces in a mirror,

you'd be stupid not to see the 

relationship between you and he. 

His family died in a tragic thing

we aren't going to talk about today

it doesn't help us in any way,

except that they were your family, too.

and if you knew that--

what would you do? 

Maybe feel like you should feel badder or madder

or that their deaths mattered.

He doesn't feel like you do

or not enough,

and wants to fuck up you and your stuff

and though your faces aren't

mirror perfect your twin

wants to start ancient angry bullshit again,

And your "stop" isn't enough for him,

And his reasons aren't

enough for you--stretching morality too.

I don't know what you are supposed to do

but you are entwined 

and some fucked ups will dine

on the horrible opportunity the 

family feud has afforded.

And serve both of you 

like a dessert

and call it "peace".
