Creative Thinking
Not all is negative
About having Alzheimer's
It makes you see things
In a new way
As children do
Figure out for instance
How to hang a shirt
On a pants hanger
Store a belt on a
Dresser drawer knob
Eat fried eggs
With a table knife
Ask your wife
How she identifies herself
Lost
In the deep of the night
When sleep should be the soundest
He wakes to natural urges
Rolls out of bed
And lumbers
In the wrong direction
His tangled brain
Steering him so awry
He's totally at bay
In his own house
Truth and Consequences
I have no future
He said
It haunts me still
What could I say
Other than
\We must
Live each day
In the day
Last Night
The night of
the blood moon
The night of
the lunar eclipse
The light of
my life sailed out
On morphine
filled dreams
Among the stars
