Words in the nursing home
do not travel far.
Mainly they are faded
memories retained in the brain.
The hours and the days pass
silently that way.
Yesterday is the only day. It all
happened then.
A lifetime of yesterdays play out
in the silence of the brain.
Words in the nursing home
do not travel far.
Remember me who I used to be?
What was your name again?
Did I know you back then?
