another winter
the house was cold;
since I’d retired I'd spent
most of my time in the house,
I was used to the cold

you said you don’t smoke anymore
I don’t,
still the same

“I love you.”
the old woman sitting opposite me
smiled

I know I tend to fall down
middle aged woman, in my
eyes young, asks if I need
help to cross the road; I say, no, thanks for asking
how old do you think I am ..

The Marquess Of Queensberry rules
