the best gifts are the ones
where the giver takes a chance
on knowing you and so my son
risks a novel and he
is, of course, right. I ask for more
of the same
and he says a friend
told him of one narrated
by a man with Alzheimer's.
When I find it, though, it is not
at all.
And I begin to wonder at
the view of the young about
the old; the fear
of death redefined
as disease.
