she was different that way

she was different
that way,
making breakfast for dinner.
turkey
in July,
a Christmas tree
in the corner all year,
with ornaments
and lights.
she was different that way.
waiting to get out
of the shower
to sing,
saying hello, when she
meant goodbye.
she was different that way,
so really
it was no surprise when
she leaped off
the George Washington
bridge, not
the Brooklyn Bridge,
to take her life.
