It's a shitty town and everybody looks shitty in it
Uncle Steve's partner's name is Angelo
They've been together ever since I was a little kid
He laughs when I call him Aunt Angelo
I drove to the hospital today and signed in
I looked at the names of the other people who had visited
I saw Angelo and read what it said under "Relationship to Patient"
It said, "Partner"
Aunt Angelo is at war with the New Jersey Mental Health System
He usually yells at everybody in the hospital
and threatens to report them to his "friends in Trenton"
The visiting room smelled like hot dogs
It was disgusting at first but then it made me hungry
I couldn't tell if the smell was really from food
Uncle Steve came out and his pants were falling down
I could see he was wearing black bikini underwear
They took his belt away when he came in
Uncle Steve said he has a crush on his social worker
and they didn't let anyone watch the ball drop at midnight
A muscular man interrupted our conversation
He said, "sorry to interrupt but I need you to sign this, Steve"
He was genuinely apologetic
When he walked away, Uncle Steve said, "See, I told you"
I drove Angelo home after we left
This time, last year, I bought bikini underwear at a department store
I tried to wear them but they were very uncomfortable
