No Signal

You lived with me once

Brother,

until you left, disconnected.

Brother

what would have happened

had you stayed? Would you

have stopped the bullies at school?

Beaten them up when they hurt your

Sister?

Maybe my first love would

be your best friend.

Brother

is it wrong of me to wonder

what could have happened?

If you hadn't left me?

Surely it is worse to wonder

Why?

I can't talk to you,

a network cable is unplugged.

Brother,

sometimes I wish so hard

that you had been

Born.
