THEY CLOSED DOWN HALF THE HOSPITAL JUST SO SHE COULD TAKE
ME OUT IN THE YARD TO SIT IN MY WHEEL COMAIR AND BREATHE.
SHE WOULD SIT THERE AND READ HER BOOK AND I WOULD JUST SIT THERE
IN MY COMAIR.
AND THEN SHE WOULD, I WAS REALLY BRAIN DAMAGED.
SO I WOULD CURSE HER OUT EVERY DAY.
AND SHE, AT THE END OF THE NIGHT SHE WOULD WALK TO MY LIGHT SWISM
ON MY WALL AND WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME.
AND SHE WOULD JUST SAY, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY.
TURN THE LIGHTS OFF.
EVERY DAY SHE DID THAT.
