We store them in a world of non-English speaking aides,
waking them to administer sleeping pills,
sheet changing three times a week,
breakfast till ten lunch two supper at six sharp
lights out by eleven.
We store them with promises of weekly visits,
we find loopholes around before their houses
are sold, or signed over to us,
so to qualify for government assistance.
We store them in these institutions
that we end up describing as.
Acquit for their needs, and I saw nothing
out of the way when I visited last year,
or commenting, "They're with people their own age".
That old standby when all else fails
to give us peace of mind, for what we did.

I really liked it... but who were they? Gar... I'm usually not the one who is on the outside of an inside joke =P. Anyway, towards whatever it was, there is some good emotion here =). Keep writing =P. |
