I'Ve Noticed That Your Daughter Is A Psychopath Poem by James McLain

When you thought that no one was looking;
I saw you stick a long needle
through the back
and right up through the head of a lizard.

By now it's to late to watch out for her
rubbing in a way
that excites the boys in class
in unhealthful ways.

Due to the denial of the parents and or
the fact that they were
and still are the most likely suspects
being untreated, not medicated,
and like themselves
not wanting to draw attention to her
and that the entire family is unstable because.

I planed each parent's divorce
and would be convicted of malicious intent
of said act and
I have been seen at night
carrying things out with unfocused eyes
and tight lips
with other boys and girls of unsimilar like mind.


Does she unmovingly moan and wet the bed
with her friends in the bed
and confess to setting the fire that killed
grandma and grandpa
and of torturing small animals
that she gave unnatural names to like Amen.

Watch for the climbing of tall trees and walking
across empty large fields
devoid of rose bushes and
even more unbecoming
even more talkitive and a history of acting out.

By now she is unable to see things from
your point of view,
and lacks any type of empathy,
and is especially troublesome when seen together
with her new friend's and late dates.

By now you have realized that it is to late
you ignored your intuition,
and you want to believe that your child is different
and very special
and your own struggle with mental illness
it unthinkingly overwhelmed her.

She has now realized that communication is the key
to her success and the failers of others
as she fetchingly watchs
her parents behavior and strange dress on the
Jerry Springer show
winking each heterochromatic eye at them
as the cops come on stage and haul both parents away.
