2. Elder care


2.
Elder care

The first money I stole
from mom was the hardest
I felt real bad even guilty but
I had rent and that job thing

She was 91 and out of it
didn’t know where she was
I enjoyed power of attorney
atms, no eyes, slippery slope

Put her in a cheaper place
when her savings neared bottom
once she wanted dreams for me
with her spare change, I drink
