i could relate so much to this. same thing. there’s several senior places like the one you describe in LA. as a kid, i remember cringing at the sight of the old abandoned people and not understanding… the nurses would set them out in the scorching sun for the day. every day. like plants. i doubt anyone was concerned enough to give em water. and you feel so helpless. i would hold my granny. God, it was too much for my brain. so i blocked it. hadn’t thought about it in ever. your poem captures the whole feel of the situation very well. great piece.
