who care about the elderly
and frail of limb.
Praise be.
who trundles in my trash container,
picks up the Daily News
and drops it by my door.
who thinks to buy me apples when she shops
and phones when at the pharmacy
to learn my needs.
who stops in mid-commute
to check on me.
They don’t do house calls anymore, you know.
who weekly check my empty shelves
then stock them full from Ralphs,
Whole Foods and Trader Joes.
who bring by take-out lunches,
gab about how great it was to work in rocketry
and swap our thoughts about a trip to Mars.
