Dad was killed in a flood,
Trying to shut off Grandma Bet's electrical box,
Aunt Lyn tries to stop me,
I become weak,
and I watch dad dying,
I wake crying at 2:00 AM,
Just a dream and still Violently I cry and rock,
for once I am thankful for grandfathers declining hearing,
I wake and dress for church,
Grandmother brings news a dear friend Ed has shot himself at 2:00 AM
( He lives maybe 8 doors down.)
I am silent, I am shocked,
