.thankyou for asking.
thank you for asking and the answer
would be quicker if I had cut my nails
to bounce the keyboard here
funny you should ask as i was thinking
over this yesterday while walking
how
it felt unfair that after all those years
of housekeeping
keeping his house clean
tidy, fitting in with all his
timetables and breathing
not breathing
that
she had to go to the home quietly
where she remained quietly
her daughter also went later
and remain quiet
i lived in a home in milton road
milton house, place of nighmare
for us kids
wettened beds
stinking laundry
deleted
so I stayed quiet
so thank you so much for asking
and being so thoughtful yet I tell
you clearly
that I do not want a care situation ever
for all the good it will do, so i won’t stay
quiet now
forgive me
I hope your dad had green in his view
other colours too
