She carries my chair,
she carries my walker,
she carries my commode,
she drops my heart
   so hard it breaks into
a hundred pieces

and they all follow her,
in love like Jupiter in orbit.
She hands me
my crutches. I carry
my soul to her and say
here, that’s all
I got to say.

Now, at last, she says,
   you have a good
 attitude.
