On World Alzheimer's Day
World Alzheimer's Day leaves me incompetent
...........................................................................
It's not like Sonnets For Celebrities
........................................................
Delving deep, traumatic truths

Children, grand children, great grand children
.........................................................................
Parents, grand parents, great grand parents
......................................................................
Altar egos transcend, ascend into memory
...................................................................
Similes we used to play
.....................................
For dementia, against dementia
...................................................
