You know you should care.
That it is important.
But you have no energy
or desire to continue
to keep nagging,
cleaning up after
and in general caring for another human being.
They can feed themselves
now that they are older.
Baths continue to be a fight
so the smell becomes familiar
until eventually it goes unnoticed.
This includes the caregiver.
Should a guest even arrive
outside is the only hosting venue currently available.
It is slow slide
but now a days it does not take much
to start rolling down the inclined hill.
