Stupid Questions

 

And what about Edmund’s mother?

You mean to tell me she’s not dead 

yet? And Yvette’s parents?

Oh, I see, one of them has passed?

And Lily, did she ever start taking better care

of her widowed father?

Yes, I really should give Kathy’s mom a call.

It was so nice of her

to give me a ride home that day

we bumped into each other at the mall.

 

I want to ask Mom what’s brought this on—

her sudden interest in my friends. 

Then mortality slaps me hard, says,

"Please don't ask such stupid questions."
