Dementia

Written after repeatedly seeing the family who come out to dine with an elderly woman who obviously suffers dementia, at Mejias Trés, Calpe.

Madness,
The state of being out of sync
With reality.

Dinner
The art of going out with
Such as she.

She who,
Throws her food and makes a fuss
Habitually

Because she
Cannot cope with the demands of
Family.

Tragedy,
When circumstance and life conflict
With clarity.

Dementia
The state of being out of sync
With sanity
