To leave this expensive, bronze-wallpapered prison
they must first stretch and tug
balance and endure, twice per day
embarrassed in their old man bodies
flexing muscles gone soft
without permission from their souls.. this stanza is really wonderful. thank u dear poetess. tony

Thank you, Tony! This was written when my father had broken his hip and needed to stay in a home away from his home for months. - Jenny
