It is another one of John of Yokohama tactless comments, wearing sandals
with socks.

Was I old before Susan died?
I didn’t know. She couldn’t
Stand nor walk not talk to any
Degree. I’d take the stairs two
At a time to get her lip gloss or
Book or mint and find her below
Smiling; so I entered that glow.
I was there beside her
Indeterminately aged and
Demeanored, shielding her from
Intransigent winds wrinkling her brow.
She’d look at me and smile.
I’d smile back holding her cup
While she drank and all that while
She seemed as though I was all that
Was needed, strong, able to
Lift her into her chair and wheel
Her wherever she wished, but
When her shield fell and mine
I felt it. Was it then I grew
Old, and shall I take to hobbling,
And go about now with a cane?
I haven’t given her wheel chair
Away; perhaps I’ll carry it
Up stairs and sit in a
Deception. How far shall I
Venture? I don’t presently
See a path I recognize.
