The Other “Parent Trap”

Kids are so diabolical    
so offensively clever  
duplicitous    
   
meaningfully manipulating  
and terribly    
awfully    
   
right when they are    
wrong    
   
That I sit here writing    
about an event    
a prank  
   
so rare-eclipse    
apocalypse    
   
They didn’t start it  
but damn if they didn’t    
finish it  
   
I was taken on a trip  
of mind and body  
   
away from everything    
they ever hated  
about awkward love  
and entrenched    
resentment    
   
It only took a slight  
concealment  
of evidentiary fact  
   
That when discovered  
renewed the drifter’s  
pact
