Scamper

Hey Booger, Neely's been overcast morning

A closet full of generic adult diapers and a Bible trivia game

Lunch, three doughnuts and some chocolate milk

Reading a newspaper, that is over five days old

The nurse, the housekeeper

The doctor and the son, older than my father

The smell of old bland cooking wafting and blending

With that of red oak, warm and sour

The kitchen floor is vinyl and it's soaking wet

So is the bedroom of the mother

She has a problem, she is very old

With her bladder

You are outside sucking on a can

Passed out in the living room

Martha Stewart is speaking

Three hundred and fifty pounds of machinery

Roll between her surgical stockings

And the hearth, I do not look up, I am terrified
