I Am Tired

I am tired of being alone.
My wife has Dementia,
and is now like a child
knowing not, how
to dress herself,
select her clothes
in the morning.
I lay out undergarments
for her in the a.m.
and some clothing options.
I don't know how to
deal with this new demand
that she needs.
I will learn for that is my task.
The most difficult thing
is to have her wear a mask.

Stay away from People.
Large crowds, do avoid.
Act as if you lived
on an asteroid,
plummeting through the sky.
For this we believe,
is the way to be
and how we must live.
There is no need
to be with people, near,
so we live out our life
in a great, health fear,
of contracting a virus;
some say we could,
but avoiding everyone,
how can that be good?
Not good for socializing,
is certainly the word
for not seeing family
is just simply absurd.
