How We View Others. 4 of 4

One in a set of four related poems

How is he today the wife is asked
Same as usual, the usual reply
The way you cope beats me so
If it was me I'd have to cry
What's he doing nowadays
Must be hard with so much time
Does he mind the loss of legs
It really is such a crime
I shut up because I know the worse
It's not just the wheelchair I dread
But when these so called friends
Direct their words right over my head
