everybody
wants to make a difference
but hardly anybody does
everybody
wants to be good

everybody
wants some change
whilst many of us fear it
everybody
wants to live
even though we die

Claudette
reminded me
not to forget
about my dementia
and Al Zeimers
who claimed

when you think you had enough
but you get much less
when he talks way too much
but you always digress
when you think you’ve made it
but it was never broken
when a lot is discussed
but not much outspoken
when you’re blind to everything
but can hear all the rest
when you gave her a polygraph
but you failed the test
when you think you’ve found the one

when you’ve found a way out

and monitor your stay

a soft brown substance
came to pass
what a killer
said the hunter
to his prey
I shot myself
in the foot
and I just saved your day
you are
the one
the second
you realise
you are not
the one
1 marriage
2 people
3 kids
4 pets
5 years
a lot of fights
a divorce
a shyster
plenty of money
and many many tears
let it be heard
but not spoken
I want to sleep
and not be awoken

naming your dog
Siri
and calling him
“Hey Siri”

I’d rather
you be smart
than look
like a tart
how do you burn
your bridges
if they are made
of concrete?
beyond
reasonable doubt
lies
the truth
