You mom thread.

i used to hear
her voice
thru the
furnace registers,
while
having sex
with my dad.
 
You don't want to know.

It's complicated.

O shit.
 
This Be The Verse

By Philip Larkin

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
 
Denny

For a long time I've had this feeling many Lit members had mom's and dads who never had any kids.
 
Yes, inquiring minds want to know.
No, it gets ugly. We kids had reasons not to attend her funeral.

Meanwhile, existence is genetically controlled.
If your parents didn't have kids, you probably won't either.
