Easter Wouldn't Be Complete Without Choking Someone Out
Oh, what a lovely ham I think
(Smell them pineapples!?)
before pounding a 5th of Wild-
Turkey. Leaping over the table,
and kicking the holy shit out
of your stupid fucking uncle,
and dumb ass dad...
Fake green grass in my hair,
and halved & coloured plastic eggs
scattering everywhere in the kitchen as
my elbow lands in the 'Welcome
back Jesus Cake'. Your aunt
Matilda (with lisp) beating me over the
head with that sweet potato spoon.
I recall my first hemp sack race,
and how I was surrounded
by laughing children and
love. Although, I was lonelier
than ever... I was always
the kid breaking windows,
and writing sentences saying
"I shall not lie to my elders".
Smoking outside on those early
Spring mornings and afternoons.
Avoiding their eyes, and how they
felt sorry for me, and my poor busted
family. My dad sketching my Easters out
for me on legal pad paper from prison.
Mother, drug crazy on that island...
Somehow all of the yellows and purples
along with the sugar and small talk
has always made me sick of you.
Holiday friends, and family, so full
of shit and petty insecurities...
All of the Cool Hand Lukes in
the world couldn't swallow the
incessant amount of rotten eggs
you boil to fatten your brood.
You were never my family.
You made me feel about as
'at home' as a nigger in Switzerland.
Watching you grow into your
pig suits and stack on all of that
extra weight is merely a consolation
prize in the grand scheme of things
A basket full of old candy memories.

LOS ANGELES - Married life is over for "Full House" actor John Stamos (news) and "X-Men" actress Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (news), the former Victoria's Secret model. The couple has separated after five years of marriage, publicist Lewis Kay said Monday.
"The split is amicable and they have asked that the media please respect their privacy regarding this situation during this difficult time," Kay said.
The spokesman said the couple had no further comment.
Stamos, 40, and Romijn, 31, met in 1994 at a Victoria's Secret fashion show and began dating two months later. They married in September 1998.
The actress appeared in "X-Men," "X2: X-Men United," "Femme Fatale (news - web sites)" and "Rollerball" and she appears in the upcoming films "The Punisher" and "Godsend."
Stamos, best-known for his role as Jesse in "Full House" from 1987 to 1995, played John Sears in last year's cable TV movie "The Reagans." In recent years, he's played on the Broadway stage.
In October, Stamos replaced Antonio Banderas (news) as the film director obsessed with women in the Tony Award-winning revival of "Nine" at New York's Eugene O'Neill Theatre.
He had also replaced Matthew Broderick (news) in the revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and starred as the master of ceremonies in the long-running Roundabout Theatre Company production of "Cabaret" at Studio 54.
