Steps

Theme: stairs

Being a wheelchair user
the bane of being,
especially absent accompanying ramp.

Source of only happy bio-dad memory;
he rubs my sore skull in his
lazy weekend morning attire
of maroon silk bathrobe after weak muscles
wouldn’t follow brain’s desire
to pull 50 pound body stair by stair,
up.

The reason Brian
now has a rod in his femur,
necessitating unwelcome break
from basketball and hockey.

Occasional source
of fight.
