just shoot me

it used to be full contact
football,
then basketball
for decades.
outside in the hot sun,
or cracking
ice off the rim.
volleyball was in the mix
too.
occasional tennis,
five mile runs or more.
day long bike rides.
hiking
any mountain in view.
and now this,
here i am with Aunt Trixie
and her friends,
playing
pickleball.
tapping a ball gently
over the shortened net
so that no
one has to run.
