My Alzheimer's Dog
My beloved dog
Gus Mr. unhappy
Grumpy looks
Wrinkled face
Bored very bored
‘Go read a book
Jog around the house
Watch television
Stop the sad looks’
I command
Then look
In the mirror
Disgusted I feel
I look like Gus
Gus doesn't change
We visit our vet
Methodical
Meticulous
Tough questions
Place time memory
What I ate
When I began feeling this way
Why troubled by boredom
Wrinkled face
Grumpy looks
I lose patience
Slap the man
Demand answers
“I ‘ve bad news”
The doctor says
“ Problem is not Gus
Problem is you
You're brain
Youre confused
The dog is you
Your sick brain
Here is a pill
For Alzheimer's’’
