Playing Old 78s at the Nursing Home

It’s Alzheimer’s Awareness Month . Sending loving thoughts to those struggling with the disease and their caregivers.
Celebrating the moments of clarity and connection.
AGING GRACEFULLY
We have decided that
we aren’t oldsheimery at all
but absent minded professors
far too caught up on Newtonian
and Russelian physics,
and epigenetic
and brain scan implications in
the present presidential race
to remember to put
the butter back in the fridge
LAYING DOWN TOOLS
All’s hammers now
finer tools
one by one laid by
and every day
more nails
half hit and bent
and every blow
that much farther
from the mark
Y’ALL’SHEIMERS
Getting old and forgetting
that the South lost the war
