public weeping

the twins stood side by side,

matching in their

tank tops

plaid shorts

reeboks (original)

tan skin

wrinkles

and

white hair

their unison and emphatic yes

to my are you twins?

belied their fast friendship

but

one wore the green, hospital, i'm-having-health-problems bracelet

and

this one difference was my undoing....

i wept at the thought of the impending 

loss

what makes you cry in public?
