alzheimer's series 1-4

text: "alzheimer's series # 2" conspectus, [ a paucity of consonance.]... now and again, her memories visit her, some good, yet all tinged with an unpleasant aftertaste, and the leeching of bitterness and repressed self recrimination so deep now that it permeates the tissue of the soul... a window with a view............................................................................. passing sail masts, passing freight trains, passing cars passing her bye... the tv screams a streaming scroll of cacophonous fast edit montage......... she sometimes, [ albeit subconsciously,] uses the trains rhythmic creaking to dislodge in the memory something specific, ultimately to little avail... and once again, that part of her rusting brain lies to her, drifting in an eddy, trapped by the process of uncontrollable functioning................. errant urine drops accumulate and foul the bed edge, another piece lost to attrition... she waits disrespectfully for nature; but nature is much better at waiting...
