My Family

the noun "family" - from "famine"
or from "femmina", or from "fame"-
the explanation could be lame
and one's not sure from where it came,
as there's always another name
which may unite related people
or talking, eating or tea-sipping,
or teasing, hating or curse-lipping...
descendants who descended from somewhere
(we, really, don't know from where!)-
with similar faces, eyes and hair
which is so rare and unrare,
as Mr. Someone said it - "from the stars"
that were placed some time a-far
which are now peeping into cars
and wink at the unshattered Mars.
we all're the heirs of "cos'mos"
that can bring profit or some loss,
that can be tossed as playing cards
depicted by the heartly arts,
a-sung by so, so many bards,
and injured by so many darts,
and driven by so many carts,
and scattered in so many parts
that we make a familly all over-
wherever you look, wherever you turn,
and the word "family" has earned
so many senses in the minds-
so many numbers you can't find:
the meaning of the "seven I's"
which is so funny and so nice,
the meaning of the clan, close born,
the unity that is adorned:
the same beginning of the "Alphah",
and the same progress of the "Behtah",
and the same essence of the "vihtah",
and the strange history of "Kahppah",
the clever sound of the "Phee"...
we all are different, and, yet,
we all are a family of "to be"
having an instinct of a bee-
and do not ask me any more:
I knew you, dear, long before-
the family of Adam-Eve
to come into and then- to leave.
