betty
your voice is like an empty tin can
an orange leaf in late-november clumsily clinging to the tree
a worn record played on repeat
like you're gargling sugar
like cherry cough medicine
a fog that warms the stale air of your assisted living bedroom
a new song played on an 83-year-old piano
like chocolate covered potato chips
like your heart has taken up residence in your throat
