Old Girl

I wonder if she forgets things?
Repeats herself?

If you ask her what she had for lunch
would she be able to tell you?

Does she study the TV listings,
decide on a programme,
search for it
and find it's not being shown?

Does she call for someone
to investigate what's wrong?

'You're looking at tomorrow's programmes M'aam.'

Does she repeat herself?

And what about her medication?

Does she swallow her morning tablet
and, later that morning,
forget she's had it
and take another?

Does she recall yesterday
like it was only yesterday
or like it never existed?

'What's today?' does she ask?

And does she repeat herself?
