Hes a pretty sweet guy when he isnt being Bobby

she flinched like she was slapped  then howled 

                                                     I can’t believe you just said that!

Tyranny of family 

                    I didnt chooseup the team so whenever one crosses a line Im first to stomp their toes ridicule em 

No . . not really. 

                   You’re kidding? 

Im not

        We share a name anif they misrepresent me if they havent good sense to say theyre talking for themselves I catch wind of tha I come down like a ton of bricks Im takin no guff for wha comes out of their mouths  Me an mine don have many similar ideas

How is how . . is that possible?

Thawere unalike  Think   Have lived apart nearly two generations  Youll recall I left home at nineteen an Im the oldest They live within twenty minutes of each other except for one brother but hes a cretin

He’s a fireman?

Yes An officer

A first responder.

Yes  but tha don make him special It speaks more to the hierarchy hes willing to serve to submit to  In my mind scarcely a step above a GI 

                              Bobby was a GI  As I said hes sweet when he isnt being Bobby

I still don’t know what to make of that.

Nothing to make I accept it yamight as well

An enigma?

Sure he shrugged  Whynot Though I find tha generous

And you’re his brother.
