Just Don't Ask

you don’t want to know
how could you
and the choices staring
blank-eyed and hollow
like the tree that died in the front yard
just don’t ask
how long have you been there
eleven days sure as shit
ain’t no vacation
unless to hell and back
every day to the reality
that is the insanity that took over
eleven days ago
as if a black cloud hung
waiting for 415
just don’t ask
and you won’t be saddened
by the answer you would get
at this moment
frozen in time
trapped in the children’s ward
everything keeps moving without
a thought but the morning
began in the chapel
looking for truth within
where else would it be at this moment
just don’t ask
how he is doing
how would you be doing
forty three days
of existence
how fair is this for anyone
involved everyone involved
just don’t ask
how they will pull through
it all and what I wonder
how and where does he get the strength…
