everything that used to be is gone
grass and rust has now taken over
the new generation cannot be to blame
they are making their own memories
i just take a breath and smile at the thought of my own
i just wish that mom was here to reminisce with me
old ugly ileus made sure that did not happen along with the colon cancer
now the tears threaten, but i refuse to let them flow
i just think about the place that i grew up in and leave the rest to my active imagination
maybe i can write a poem about it, but i am not that good with words
maybe i can plan some type of event, but i am not that good with planning
i think i will just sit in the darkness of my dusty apartment again
the streetlight will shine attention on the much needed privacy and peace
they are all that is left
everything that used to be is something incomprehensibly new
change is water, but not always

I developed an ileus from being constipated.
This isn't something that's being exaggerated.
It's a blockage of the intestines, that's something I soon realized.
For a week and a half, my illness caused me to be hospitalized.
I was admitted at Morristown Hamblen Healthcare.
The ileus caused me to be hospitalized there.
The hospital is located in Morristown, Tennessee.
I couldn't eat or drink, I was connected to an I.V.
What happened to me can cause quite a scare.
I was treated well while I was hospitalized there.
It was over a week before I was put on solid foods.
I couldn't eat or drink, it put me in quite a bad mood.
Going to that hospital turned out to be a good decision.
While I was there, I mostly watched television.
After being treated with medication, my ileus ceased.
After ten days, I was better and I was released.
The medication I received drastically improved my digestive flow.
If you become ill, Morristown Hamblen Healthcare is an excellent hospital to go.
