Dysfunction

Stuck in a small body
confined for an endless
age Never able to move
or breathe or really
streeeeeeetch out
and just be

Too many:
places to go
people to see
things to do
goals to accomplish

But those are better
far better than not
going anywhere
meeting anyone
doing anything
better than failing
failing to be do see

There is a world
an eon an epoch
of hope and
expectation
confined in this
one small body
An entire family
line come down
to this small
frail form

Be
Do
See
for those who can
no longer

Feel them press
onto you the
combined weight
of an entire family
on shoulders barely
strong enough to carry
your own weight

Be
Do
See for
us all and remember
remember who you are
who we were what
must come from this

I do. I never forget. I can't.
