Refusal Of Treatment

I'm trying the best I can
With what I have
And you don't want it.

You don't care
Or give a damn
About anything.

So you want to refuse treatment
Just because you can,
Just because it's your right,
Just because you don't
Want to miss commissary,
The game, or sit in
The holding tank
All day and night.
Whatever.

I'll just do the paperwork;
Worsening of above listed conditions,
New undiagnosed health issues,
Increased pain and suffering,
Death.

Talking With Tio Gilbert

It is what it is,
That's the way it goes.
Don't ask me
Because I don't really know.

Kim, Palm Sunday 2017

It's a bright and
Beautiful Palm Sunday morning.
Brilliant blue sky and
Birds singing on
The terra cotta pot
Bird feeder I made.
My wife makes breakfast
After we've made love
This April morning.

My daughter called
And left a message;
You died early this morning.
I havn't seen you
For some years,
Maybe ten or more?
The last time was
In Crockett, Texas
At the family reunion.

I pray for you
At church later
This morning and
I pray a decade
On my rosary.
You're on my mind all day.
Praying and remembering
You this Palm Sunday
2017.
