God Has A Funny Sense Of Humor
Bathroom trips are
On “emergency only” status.
She tries to hold it otherwise.
Feeling helpless.
She wants to get up and walk to
The bathroom.
But god has a funny sense of humor.
*
I can’t even take myself to the bathroom to shit,
She tells me through tears.
And I cry too. I don’t want her to hurt.
*
(What more do you want from me?
I’ve already given everything.
I’m only capable of love in three dimensions.)
*
Her veins grow thinner every day.
And darker.
Her coughing more severe.
*
The Hospice ladies just do their jobs.
No attachment if possible.
Mom can’t blame them at this point I guess.
They know this story.
They’ve seen this particular movie
Over and over.
They know how it ends.
