Caren Krutsinger Poet Dramatic Monologue

The Alzheimers Mind

My doctor is a blabbermouth; cannot keep a confidence. I think he is from Pluto. 
He tells my son my business. Everything. Even the embarrassing stuff. 
My nurse is a liar. She made up that story about me throwing the TV out the window.
It was an evil spirit. It came in the middle of the night, it was from the bowels of Purpania.
The FBI has sent men to get my state secrets, and the CIA wants to recruit me.
The joke is on them. I am helping MI6, and only MI6.  
They sneaked me onto the Apollo when it went up.
I was a top secret intelligent agent then, and I am now.
My mind is as clear as it has ever been.
You are my daughter? No you are NOT. I do not have a daughter.
I would know if I had a daughter, wouldn’t I?
I would call the men in the white coats to take you away
But no one ever listens to me. I have lost status since I aged.

Caren Krutsinger May 26, 2019 at 6:12 PM I really am, but SH. My grandchildren know and my children are SICK of it. HA!

William Kelii Kekaula May 26, 2019 at 3:16 AM Purpania, okay--our alzheimer post's, definitely head in different directions, tho' yours take a much more livelier approach, I love it, very entertaining indeed Caren, Aloha wk Caren Krutsinger May 26, 2019 at 8:01 AM I have to smile about it sometimes for my dad was on an alzheimer's unit until he died from it, and visiting there was always an adventure. You never knew who might sneak up and slap you.
