She became her mother
who'd throw a monkey wrench
into anything just because she could.
The one invited to family function
cause she had to.
Then seated next to those
you didn't care much for to begin with.
She became her mother
who'd spend most her time in the spare room.
The one her old man never went into,
watching TV, reading, talking to her cats,
and I became her old man, who I laughed at
in the beginning , then felt sorry for once
I got to know him.
Praying for his wife's death; or his,
no matter here,
as long as it was over.
