Rather than drive back home
And get the extension ladder I forgot
I take wild chances
Balancing on one foot
Atop the neighbor's stepladder
To pull the large mat of pine-needles
Off her tin roof
In woolcap & frayed jacket
Like some college kid errand-
Wondering, "what the hell am I doing here?"
(age sixty-one)
