Sisters at a Family Get-Together

come together

for a photograph

each of them a different age

looking to the left:

                 someone younger

to the right:

                 someone older

except

the eldest

looks to the right

sees her

ancient grandma

in a wheelchair

the youngest

looks to the left

sees her baby niece

being picked on

by her school-age siblings

then they all peer straight ahead

and smile
