Doctor woke me up
I entered into the room
he was on the bed
I noticed his clothes
and bed sheets were wet
I patted on his back
and said “naughty boy”
I changed his clothes
the same way he had changed
my pampers long ago

I fed him
with the spoon
as if it still contains
my nostalgic baby food flakes
he was so comfortable
for he is my new born baby

“dad”, I called him
he did not recognize me
but I clasped him like a child
I caressed his bald head
he pointed afar
and said: “that is aapam”
hmmm I agreed
“that is big light”
hmmm I agreed
“that is big bee”
hmmm I agreed
“that is big pond”
hmmm I agreed

he looked at me
I did not disagree anything
I don’t.. I can't..
Alzheimer’s disease
shall interchange our relations
to return our love and affection
to the source of origin
as part of its medication
