"Signing
Checks "
The
backs of his hands
pulse under papery skin
streaked with white hairs
that move up his forearms
to ripple with each
flex of muscle, stronger,
stronger as the legs
atrophy.
He sits
at his kitchen table,
coffee rings branding
junk mail on
one side, bills
spilling across the other.
Arthritis knobs his knuckles,
forcing a slow motion grip.
The pen grooves
into yellowed
calluses while his fingers
fight for the trembles of his
name.
