Two old and interesting men / aboard an old and slow / boat to Torshavn / each with half an arm — / (one has a right arm and a half, / the other a left arm and a half.) Every fourth / person on board has a cane /

and one in ten uses a walker.

They all greet me / with open-faced smiles! / More alive and joyful / than others less afflicted / and one third / their age.

Profound question: Why are you limping? Old wounds heal and yet we still limp. All of us have wounds and your post makes me wonder how I am still limping ... worthy of more thoughts.
