Yesterday at breakfast
I nagged you to eat more
Now you are invisible.

Today we are both
Surprise celebrities
Household names.

You on paper only
With your vital statistics
Listed carefully

Height, weight,
Eye and hair colour.
Nick name.

You are on the telly
You are on the radio
You are not here.

Me in the flesh (breathing?)
Startled by flashbulbs
And out of my mind.
