I Have Old Man Things

i have old man things

i have old man things
pocket-things that stay
a shuffling gait
a dull back pain
slippers
worn good
shufflingshuffflingshufffling
looking for my coffee
looking for my flashlight
looking for my screwdriver
nap
after lunch
i'll fix the mower later
when its cooler
right now
the dogs know what to do
and that is to sleep
in the sun
