she came running as always
older than me
her husband older
than her
he gets up on her return
does the times crossword
while she trains
i did not tell her
that I can do it too
a copy though not
so far as her
yet
without special shoes more
like in my sandals
yes two pairs the same because
i buy the same each year so
i keep one pair for walking
the other for paddling and wading
about
he worries about his waders, hangs
them on the gate to dry
cuts the bramble in the lane
in case the rubber punctures
