My Old Pillow - Feb. 1, 2023

its memory foam

in late-stage Alzheimer’s

doesn’t remember me

or the shape of my head


at first I thought it was

that streak of laziness

that afflicts the old


but when I laid down

it wasn’t able to rise

to meet me


and mumbled

on another day

as I was getting into bed


Have we met before?
