HOW GRAMPS AND GRANMA GOT TOGETHER
HOW GRAMPS AND GRANMA GOT TOGETHER
she had an ego
that could be seen
from space
a mind that could strip
an apple of its skin
in one perfect coil
but today she was feeling
like a faded
carbon copy of herself
and it was this
vulnerability
that so unnerved the others
not knowing whether
it was a ruse or a trick
on her part
could she really
have a heart when
she was not biting heads off
I not being afraid of her
I dared to take
care of her
she too surprised
that I simply
walked around her defences
as if they weren't
there and won her
with a simple "You ok?"
