Betrayal
at the worst of time
when time was almost
almost mine,
then gone my foundations,
my support
the very pegs I stand on,
and all thereafter
belongs to others.
The one who once taught concepts of science
now struggles to convince
of the ability to void unassisted
and to claw back accustomed decencies
one-by-one.
My day is now satisfactory
in sitting up for lunch
and working morning sudoku
before sleep closes in.
