black people, Asians too.
anyone not
American born
got on his nerves,
Mexicans
were the worst
according to his beliefs
set in stone.
actually anyone not
exactly
like him.
the same color of skin
were way down
on his proverbial
food chain.
and so now,
as he lies there
in a state
of confusion, unable
to lift a fork
to his mouth, with dementia
set in,
i wonder if his
views have changed
as a brown
hand feeds
him, changes his diaper
and wipes his mouth,
counts out the pills
of his medicine.
