A place I like to walk
is the aisles of the
specialty pharmacy
where they carry one of 
seemingly everything
for any ailment or stage
of life
like breastfeeding supplies and 
tiny vials of baby medicine
and one whole wall
filled with compression stockings
another lined with 
wheelchairs, motorized recliners,
and furniture and accessories for your toileting ease
don’t forget
the aisle of tall candles
and boxed thank you cards
because you’re never too ill or incontinent
for elegance
or good manners.
