10-Answer the question

Answer the question

Ask me how 

I’m doing  

and I’ll tell you

about the time 

a cougar ate 

my brother’s cat

and my brother’s 

response to that

tragedy would be to 

let everyone know 

how happy he is 

being single and 

so glad 

his ex decided 

not to move 

with him into our 

childhood home 

to take care of  

elderly parents, 

who themselves say 

things are great 

because 

they’ve lived long

enough to know 

it does no good 

to inform others 

it hurts hard to live.
