Extremely vague, I know, but work with me here...

The only line I seem to remember had something to do with "spare me your broken families" or family trees or "mixed families" ... I really can't recall much more than that, just know it's the one I'm looking for. :confused:

That may be enough for the geniuses here. Welcome to here.

Maybe it's from the poem "Red"?

he runs a bookstore
just off Hollywood Boulevard
and all that part of Hollywood
is just about skid row,
the young boy prostitutes
running the streets at night;
the hard young girls, the blacks,
the disoriented children from
ruined families, they are
frightened, mean, helpless and
dumb and
all that's left of that part of
town is
Musso's and Frederick's of
Hollywood.

Those three examples reflect different ideas. Can you recall the tone of the story?:confused:

I believe it was a semi-holier-than-thou ranting about other people that have already ruined their lives with their choices trying to integrate his life with theirs. Not sure how much that helps...

Why do you need to find the poem? Can't sleep nights thinking about it? Is it haunting you?

Exactly.

I think I read it in the Manuscripts section of this site, actually... Just can't re-find it if that's the case.
