Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Euthanasia Laugh Laugh

Euthanasia. Laugh. Laugh. Euthanasia. Giggle. Giggle.
A wonderful subject for conversation in no circles.
And yet, here I am, laughing with my friend about it, at work.
“I think it hilarious that you think you have a daughter who 
would put you out of your misery,” she says.
She is doubled over with laughter about it.
I stare at her. 
She obviously did not hear me well. 
You misunderstood me, I reply.
We have two daughters, who would not hesitate to take us both out, if we were miserable enough.”
She says “you are a hoot.”
Hoot or not, I know one thing for sure.
The other daughter would keep us alive on machines if only one eye was still blinking.
So I will warn the other two not to let her in on the plan.
