Royal Tenenbaums Poem



MARGOT IS ADOPTED by A. Gates

Margot was a runaway
Determined to stay away from home.
She sat in the tub at times
Flipping channels on the TV set with her toes.
Smoking out of the corner of her mouth.
Blowing fabrications into the fan.
Leaving her bearded man
To rendezvous with her novelist boyfriend.
So she sulked and walked in slow motion
Seeming too tired to smile
While Nico talked in a husky tune
So her brother could swoon and depress into death.
Love twisted out of blood,
Too important to screw with.
