They Think They Know Better
They bring another bowl full of creamy stodge.
Your mouth is half open -
not shocked
but limp.
Falling to one side.
They heap the spoon and dump
it inside your mouth.
Even though the nurse has said to stop feeding,
that the stodge
is falling into your lungs
with your digestive system completely gone,
still, they heap another spoonful,
they think they know better.
