Because they’re “Auntie” and “Uncle” History
One surmises they’ve brothers and sisters
“That’s a good guess!”
(As they say on game shows)
Alas they’ve no relatives
Though strangers often come
To camp on their lawn
Who are these folks
Claiming kinship?
There’s old Slappy
Who feeds the furnace
And laughs at nothing
And Alexander Blok
Waving his bloody shirt
My spirit is old;
And some black lot awaits me
On my long road…
