A man mouths the words of pop songs, tapping out time on the bed rail. We hear conversations with ghosts of friends, family, and strangers, and watch preparations for a dinner that happened years ago. Meanwhile, two men anticipate a big game or a championship bout, while a woman reclaims her beauty, gazing at high school photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSomeone Else\u003c\/em\u003e, Ann Kammerer presents poetic sketches of people with dementia and chronic illness as they live in extended care.
