My Hobby

Randy Boone

It’s your fourth time now.
You’d think that
one or the other of us
would learn.
I guess it’s still important
for us both
to try.
I put in the dim light bulbs.
Pull out all the blankets.
The bucket.
Trash bags.
Towels.
I fill up jugs of water.
I watch you tremble
and sweat.
I listen to you talk nonsense.
Help you to navigate hallucinations.

(The burning isn’t real.

The buzzers will go away.)
I slop vomit into the toilet.
Feed you tablespoons of juice.
Sing you little stories through my tears.
You threaten me.
I hold your hand.
This goes on.
