How am I going to answer when,
My new found friends ask me,
"Are you an only child?"

"No, I'm not."
I would say.

"How many siblings do you have?"
They say.

"Two."
I would say suddenly a little bitter.
"I have a little sister. "

"What about the other one"
They would say.

"She was the oldest in the house."
I would reply.

"You talk about her like she's dead."
They might say.

"That's because she is. I knew her a long time ago."
I reply.
