We all come apart.

At some point or the other,
the inevitable happens.

Images of your life fly before you,
the people, the places, the memories.
At some point you forget
who you love
and why you love them.

And then you can't bear
even the simplest things --
deciding what to eat --
milk or toast, or both?
or what to wear --
pants, jeans, a skirt?

Turning the key
in the ignition of the car
takes all the effort in the world.

You let everything go.
And don't care
to ever have any of it again.
