12,633. UNCLE TOO

UNCLE TOO
That uncle is gone now.
He succumbed. I used to
her him tell it. Not much
mixture but the same hard
words. Seemed. Always.
I tried aloofness but that 
failed, and when I tried
resistance, that was of no
avail. Ended up there was
nothing to do but take it. 
It was OK though. I figured
I'd easily outlast him, and
all his words. So now, without
him around, what do I do? Sit
here to remember things he said.
