Decay

Driving test.
First house, first child, first car.
Divorce, marriage, cheating, loyalty.
Either way ending up used and outlived.
Swept under the carpet,
Exiled from my house,
Because they say I cant make a cup of tea.
Walking sticks
Remotes and keys on strings
Minds shrivel up
Memories fade away
Who are you? To my daughter, grandchildren, husband
Minutes seem life a life time,
Stray thoughts spark false recollections,
Suspicion, confusion, frustration.
Waiting with a blank expression
Slumped on an armchair
For your turn.
