Straight Line - Dec. 27, 2024

you 65’s and over

I’d like to see you walk a straight line


try a grout line a long board

on the hardwood flooring

a curb works perfect too


put one foot in front of the other

and I bet the body twists arms

fly up and you fall to the side


you think I can do better than

that try it again then again

every time unable to keep

those wheels on the track


the young dare devil you were

in shock at the image of you

walking like a drunk


my only advice unless you want

to attract the strangest

head-shaking looks


is to break this news to yourself

when no one is watching
