it's the age of pills.
of x rays,
and cat scans, blood pressure
readings.
telling others
what your doctor says
about this
ache and pain,
that ailment. the same
one your mother
had when she was your age.
around the table
we go,
with gout, and arthritis,
polyps
and bunions,
palpitations,
rashes that are
as mysterious as the day
is long. I swear
to you, we say,
it's not just a common cold.
