a radius of two miles

i can't drive at night,
she tells me,
or in the rain,
or on wednesdays.
that's knitting day.
in fact i don't even
have a car anymore,
i rent one,
or call my uber driver,
jimmy, we go by first names.
i try to stay within
a two mile radius
of where i live.
it's scary out there.
plus i have a dog and
a cat at home,
grandchildren who
are waiting for me
to help them read.
plants need watering.
but i am a fun person.
just not after 7 pm,
or on weeknights
or holidays.
