How to Watch Your Brother Die

When the call comes, be calm.

Say to your wife, "My brother is dying. I have to fly to California."

Try not to be shocked that he already looks like a cadaver.

Say to the young man sitting by your brother's side "I'm his brother"

Try not to be shocked when the young man says "I'm his lover. Thanks for coming."

Listen to the doctor with a steel face on.
Sign the necessary forms.
Tell the doctor you will take care of everything.
Wonder why the doctors are so remote.

Watch the lover's eyes as they stare into your brother's eyes as the stare into space.
Wonder what they see there.
