Epiphany: I really would not care if my grandma died
It would hurt my Mom, and –
Perhaps by extension, it would bother me
But I cannot say – least not honestly
That my grandma’s death would be my tragedy
In addition, I declare the same absence for both
They can even die together. Accident. Boat.
I’ll hardly be moved, tears oh-so remote
“I’m sorry Grand Mother. I don’t know why –
I would not care if you died”
