My neighbours were the popular sibling duo in our complex,
fully stocked pantry, unlimited video games, and few rules.
I nicknamed her older brother Screw Face.
He drank Ting from a glass bottle like it was Red Stripe,
played Grand Theft Auto and spoke to the TV like a major drug lord.
No respectable teen boy volunteered to babysit his little sister and her friend.
But he did, he was the traffic cop
monitoring us while we drove Barbie Jeeps.
Once, he pulled us over behind the dumpster.
She paid him for both of us. I witnessed his…
I was sick every playtime
watched her from my bedroom.
He sat on the veranda, shot air bullets at my window,
and mouthed, informa fi dead.
