It’s time
to succumb
again to
that knife edge
of pain management
and
forward motion slender
grey
as aliens on
the row

ninja turtles guards
in full kit taking
you out
counts me in
steadier than
the second hand
I used to see go

it makes the old heart beat like new
it let's you look at all that work
as if you were just in it
