back,
she asks as i carry my
tools
and self
into her house, grabbing
the handrail.
no,
i tell her. it's mostly the knees.
fifty years or so
of playing
sports
has made them creaky
and sore,
depending on the weather.
it takes me
a little while to get
warmed up,
but if you have an oil can
nearby by,
please
hit me with a few
squirts
between
the bone on bone.
