Protocols serve a function
In case you lose your mind
They are patterns that can serve you
If dementia owns your time
A place to leave your purse
Or credit cards and keys
Saves a domain search
And provides security
So some habits are degrading*(l)
And cause you sure to fail
While habits made consciously
Will serve you when you’re frail.

Grandma Linda is a squigily peg in a square hole. Her poetry is aimed at moving the world to love, unity and perfect margaritas. And after years of perfecting the art, she has the skill to paint a better world and make it so.
When she is not serving customers, gazing at rocks, or visiting her grandchildren Linda is writing poetry. And even during all the above activities she has been known to write still.
