I am sad.

I could not see them today.

I do not blame them.

This is not a good time of year for them.

Hopefully, I can see them soon.

Should equals shame.

Could means you can do it.

Would means why.

Would you do the thing you could do

or should you just say you would and then not?

How long does it keep?

Does it follow the lanes of knowledge

or are we forced to break its parameters?

A memory can be jogged.

A memory can not be squashed.

Forgotten, twisted and broken

as they may be

memories are sometimes all we need.

Games.

Video.

Boxed.

Party.

Family.

Sports.

Enjoy.

Don’t destroy.

Choking and having trouble breathing.

Acid reflux coming at you with a vengeance.

The next ten minutes coughing.

Sleep is gone.

Let’s see what the day has.

It doesn’t look good.

I did not have friends

When I was her age.

High school meant

The unpopular kids

Had to find hiding spots.

I was in university

When I was his age

Full of antics and shenanigans.

Still socially shy

But I did have a group to hang with.

Now, I can look back

And bore them stories

Of when I was your age…….

Who wakes up in the middle of the night.

The one who goes downstairs

Because they cannot sleep.

The one who has the midnight snack.

The one who doesn’t want to disturb the others sleep.

Yet, this morning I find myself down here

Head throbbing.

Stomach growling

And totally

Indecisive!

I used to think it was funny

when someone tripped and fell on their ass.

Then I saw an old lady

fall smashing her face in the sidewalk.

Society deems it acceptable to laugh at others pain and anguish,

but truly, do you like it when people laugh at you?

In the garden

The vegetables grow.

My mind eases

Until I step wrong

And I find the strawberries

Turned in to a premature jam.

Delicious.

Fresh.

Crunchy.

Healthy.

Now to just pick all the leftover salad bits from my teeth.
