tell my neighbor thinks i'm getting old.
if i leave
the lights on
in the car,
she knocks on the door,
and politely tells me so.
if i leave
the keys in lock,
she pushes them through
the mail slot.
she watches
for any deliveries,
boxes on the porch,
keeping them
until i get home.
yesterday she offered to pick
me up some
things
at the store if i needed
anything.
she tells me to be careful,
if i'm going out.
the roads are treacherous
today, and
it's hot.
very hot.
be sure to hydrate.
maybe wear a hat, okay?
