Today
And got mostly nothing back
Crickets

Sat in the hospital
listened to dementia bable
Smiling and nodding along
crying laughing

Sitting home
Writing poetry

U know
What I'm doing really

Anchoring, grasping
Hooks of neurons
Reaching
Across the stage of embarrassment

Pull me off this stage

Unh

No

I'm past that
