the striped sweater

when you need your
cane
to answer the door,
or 
your spy glass to read
the daily news,
when you no longer
hear the smoke
alarm because your hearing
aid is not in your ear,,
when you need to find
your teeth, but don't care.
when the little blue
pill won't work anymore
despite her standing in front
of you in her
silky underwear,
when
there's oatmeal on your
favorite striped
sweater and it's killing you,
it might be time
to go.
