[2019] Irrelativity

      
When a sociopathic sister's    
methodical manipulations    
hammered wedges of ancestry    
in betweens of quiet moments    
   
as means of further infecting    
daily routines with more madness    
   
I turned my back on her    
and most everyone else    
she was descended from    
   
not caring to know     
whose long buried bones    
were relative to me among dead    
names chiseled into headstones    
   
or currently produced    
red blood cells in living    
inhabitants of other continents    
   
Was and is of no consequence    
to me; merely effects of causes;    
seed reinvented for dissemination    
throughout arteries of personal    
histories and irrelevance    
   
Biology has inherent burdens    
resulting here and there in    
unwanted strains;    
for some of us    
bodies of evidence    
are testaments to the fact    
we are all related as a species    
   
and you are no more in my life    
special than the next person
