Alziemersed Out

He wanders around looking for his eyeglasses, the ones he wore in 1990, he becomes frustrated, crying,, swearing he put them right there on the table. He searches for his car keys, the ones his kids had taken away last month, yelling, throwing things, becoming irate, making threats, they try to explain but, no memory of the event. He rode his scooter to the store, fell off into a ditch, police asked him where he lives, he can't seem to remember! Maybe he thinks he just bumped his head, He remembers his friends address, {his wife's} not realizing it's home! Where are you pops? where is your mind? He lashes out not remembering what day it is, not knowing what year it is, calling for his wife, over and over, he can't understand why she isn't coming, not remembering she passed away many years ago!
