Dementia

How are you ever Going to get out from under this? It hunts with its nose It is brave from lack of sleep Onions, computers, red cabbage, loss This tangle of things Goes to sleep in a knot Is that you in the picture? Take as long as you please Come around back now Fierce and rambling, blasting a request For mercy with an air horn Pointing to an unspecified time and place A leaflet addresses your problems You lose your ability to use language Thoughts stack up but cannot be forged There is nothing to be afraid of
