I bend down to touch a spot
slippery on my fingers as I rub them together
and then try to wipe them on a work glove
that’s sitting on the shelf in the cluttered garage
which needs to be cleaned out and organized but
it’s almost too cold now so it will probably wait
through the white wafts of winter while we take
care of work and appointments and activities and
plays and performances and family and church and
holidays and applications and homework and
meetings and whatever else we can squeeze into the
bag of existence and carry around without anything
falling out
or at least not everything
