who works
out like an Olympic
athlete at the mall gym,
reminds me to hydrate
when she sees me
in my slippers,
walking the dog
to the corner hydrant.
don't forget to hydrate
she says,
making a motion of
a water bottle going
to her mouth.
she's in her gold tights,
wrist bands
and head band
holding back her wild hair.
she looks like a dancer
in a 1980's van halen video.
hydrate, she says again.
it may be the most complex
word she knows.
i pause, and write that down.
hydrate.
drink when thirsty.
i underline it
several times.
