finnish line


Keep driving until 
The wheels fall off 
My last truck “Trucky”
Made it almost 250,000 miles. 


I had a Hot Toddy 
To help my throat but it didn’t. 
I just tore up my sleep. 


A lot of steps. 
10,000 is a goal I
Once hit a few times a year. 
Now it’s all the time. 


We’re doomed. Aren’t we? 
This is body wash. 
It says “DO NOT EAT” 
On the bottle of body wash. 

I have so much guilt about 
Not being able to help my little patient. 
I know I can’t save them all
But I wanted to help. 

You know those scared, old cats 
That hide under the furniture 
And won’t come out -
When all you want to do is pet them? 
And love on them and hug them? 
Well that’s this guy. 
It’s maddening. Heartbreaking. 
T’was Ever Thus
