The associations our brain makes are funny things. I went looking for a poem about sisters, because I love mine. Instead I found The Mermaid in the Hospital which did make me think of my sister, because it’s 2 years tomorrow since I went to the hospital to have my gall bladder removed and she was with me for a long time there, and while there I found some shell-shaped hair clips and some glittery lip stuff in my purse, and I put them all on and insisted that I was a mermaid. So you see, I myself was The Mermaid in the Hospital.
