Dementia

Dementia

She puts her shoes in the fridge
And the eggs on the mat
Her hat in the pantry
And the bananas on a hook
Her purse in the microwave
And a mug of water on the table
She puts herself on the couch
And something on the tv 
Her purse is done
She hears the ding
But she’s forgotten what dings mean
So she just sits there calmly
Waiting for something
Until a man whose name
She sometimes can't remember
Comes home
And steps on the eggs
