in the big store that sells
lumber
and tools,
paints
hammers and nails.
but this chain saw catches my
eye.
it's gleaming
in the overhead
fluorescent lights.
ten per cent off for seniors.
do i need a chain saw.
absolutely not.
but why not?
who knows one day
i might need it.
what if there's a big tree
in the yard.
old and rotted out
that needs to come down
before it topples
onto my house?
just saying.
i could start it up now
and again,
oil it down, put gas in it.
i could give it a name, like,
betsy.
i could slap a bumper
sticker on my
car that says chain saw
on board.
keep the tailgaters further
away
then they usually are.
