smaller issues

with age

the smaller issues come

more into

focus

than worldly problems.

you want to know

what time a store

opens,

will there be a line,

will the coffee be fresh,

traffic,

a senior discount?

the wars

and troubles of

the planet

can go on and on and on

as they always

have,

but enough of

that.

i'm running late for

pickleball,

where's my new

racket?
