Worry

She worries about
everything,
real and imagined,
\"what if this? What if that?\"
I watched my
Mom
worry herself right
into the
grave one disastrous
December night.
My girlfriend doesn\'t care.
She wants me to
worry right along
with her.
And when I don\'t
she
gets angry.

My Dad said,
\"They can kill us,
but they can\'t eat us.\"
I share this with her.
Nothing!
Just
worry, worry, worry.
