Theme Day - Ageing












He is in care.

30 years without running water.

30 years without a fridge.

He did not care.



He is in care.

He ate veggies, and nuts.

He drank urine, because Ghandi did.

He did not care.



He is in care.

He lived alone.

In a hovel, in the bush.

He did not care.



He is in care.

He wandered five days,

After the stroke seeped

Blood into his drug-addled left-hemisphere.

He could no longer understand.



He is in care.

He is reminded to wash.

He is reminded to change.

He is fed 3 times daily.

He cannot read.

He cannot follow television.

He is all but mute.

Now others care for him.



He ain't heavy,

He's my brother.
