When we could have been

Much of what we do is unthinking
forgetting
to engage our profundity and
collateral effects detector
So that if we think to promise Mom
no nursing home
we ought think about her
sitting helplessly watching us
kill ourselves
While we will both grow
tired, irritated, and angry
with one another
When we could have been tender
