The Wild Duck #2

A poem written by one of the characters

Dang Rich People by Hjalmar

They killed my father
Not really, but he might as well been dead
Sitting there drinking and smoking
Like a giraffe in quicksand

Reconciliation is not enough
I sit with my flute and only my flute
My family observes,
Absorbing me

No treats for you
I forgot,
While sulking in the shadows of their lives,
Dang Rich People
