5/ The world changed.
Now every day I sat with soft voice
on big soft sofa
Looking at her shining silver hair
Learning to eat white bread dipped in milk
And to ruin her knitting
by spinning wooly ball around the room
spinning and spinning
'til everything unravelled
"naughty kitten" she would say
laugh
and laugh
and laugh
