So you—
to end on a joke;
you couldn’t have planned
better if you tried.

Last visit—
digging through storage,
to give you some things
you needed more than I.

So hot—
your face was flushed red.
I begged you to sit
and on me to count.

You scoffed,
did what you wanted;
you’d already lost
way too much ground.
