One (Half-) Step at a Time
He's made some tremendous progress
dragging himself through his agonizing
and almost total immobility
into his merely painful old-man's creep,
hoping he can make it to the bathroom
before his back spasms again or his
bone-on-bone screaming knee collapses,
forcing him to crawl to the toilet,
hoist himself up onto the seat and
thank God that he lost only about half
of his bladder's contents along the way.
