this be the verse…
they fuck you up, your mum and dad. but they were fucked up in their turn man hands on misery to man. - philip larkin…
they may not mean to, but they do.
they fill you with the faults they had
and add some extra, just for you.
by fools in old-style hats and coats,
who half the time were soppy-stern
and half at one another’s throats.
it deepens like a coastal shelf.
get out as early as you can,
and don’t have any kids yourself.
