Caretaker wife dies of rare mouse-borne disease
he, with Alzheimer’s, stumbles around another week and dies
dog in cage dies, time of death unknown
at least the wife didn’t die of thirst
or Gene of starvation or so I’ve heard
the dog had both in its script
Yeah, I’ve been thinking a lot about
Gene Hackman and his wife
what dreadful ways to die
but when I picture the dog
left in a cage in a closet
I shut off my feelings and run
not sure there’s any place
to hide from the death
of that innocent
