i'm here
in the hospital
you know i am
so then why
why
do you act like you don't?
you drove here
you got directions
turn left at the light
you saw the ambulances
came in through the doors
you rode in the elevator
came up to floor 2
room 308
so then why
why
do you act like you didn't?
you hover near the door
not knowing what to do, say.
fidgeting
talking about the weather
trivial current events
anything except "it".
why?
just say it, Dad.
cancer
you know i have it
you know that's why i'm here
so then why
why
do you act like you don't?
