Cancer Alzheimer's Park

The cancer in my head Patently obviously Is ever so slowly Taking over Me Day bye day So here's to you Al Parkinson My imaginary childhood friend Who as a single child I could truly count on And kept me company Way back then For kindly taking the time to revisit Me once again As you are the only one Through all and everything I have been put through and endured Has never once left me on my own Stayed ever present at my side Till this very present moment Where we find ourselves now Quivering trembling in fear And as old as you are now in terms of age Reverting deeply back to whence upon You were a child yourself Trapped seemingly unable to escape The confinement of inside your head Praying endlessly for nothing less or more Than when someone Most Especially A close loved one enquires Can you remember Do you in fact know Who you are Or I am
