Doctoring
We doctor ourselves
with Aspirin and Icy Hot
Advil and Aspercreme
the warmth feels good
on aging muscles and
old bones
the body complains
voices its neglect
with aches and pains
that come out of nowhere
the body gets grumpy
loses its elasticity
its ability
but the body also fights back
seems to always rebound
and come back around
given time
given attention
given a wife's
gentle love.
