when did this happen?

when the knee
swells,
aching with pain
and you can't remember
how you hurt it.
in your sleep perhaps,
turning in
a dream, did you trip
at three a.m. on the way
to the bathroom.
or could it be
those fifty years of playing
basketball
on concrete courts
finally catching up 
with you?
