Don't go out back to the little room!

Somewhere at the back of the mind is

a little place called dementia

where all ribbons of memories

are sent to the cutting floor.

Places everyone

you know the lines

and action.....

No! No! No!

CUT!

Stop the tape!

Cut! Cut! Cut!

Dementia, the director of memories!

Pow! Last line like a punch to the solar plexus. So well-written. Take 1, Take 2, Take 3- final take- Dementia... great form, flow, repetition, metaphor falling to the cutting room floor...

Thank you so much Annette for your lovely review.

You’re very welcome Andrew.

It's a horrible thing. I had relatives that had it. They slowly drifted off to somewhere else in their mind. I like this.

Thanks Relic it is horrible to those that surround the one in question and I wonder if they do know but just cant communicate it out! Awful disease and yet we cannot euthanize this sort of suffering! Thank you Tim for stopping by, we go back a few years now on this site:)

[Relic]

Yes we do. :)

And yes, I too wonder if there is something inside them that knows, yet can't communicate. We'll have to leave that up to science and advancements in the disease I guess.
