you remember me
despite my forgetting you
as i drive, not rushing
nor slowing to rest and relax
except to drink coffee in Tim Horton
now, not a luxury, nor a place
for careless throwing away of my coins
but a necessity, that careful
keeping of my blood-sugar in check
so that malady does not dance
within that space steadily serviced
by those remaining un-scarred arteries
