merely i observe

lonely fog has been creeping in this morning outside my brother is working doing the things his Dad told him to do and Mum
calls him frantically to come inside,
she worries he has not been well
for a week and they will be late
for the doctor, she worries
about him even though
today she is unwell
herself, she worries
much too much Dad said to me as she
was on the phone to Gran what
would your Mum do if nobody

ever got sick, there wouldn't
be a thing to talk about
