the oldest

I'm the oldest
in the advanced
exercise group

led by
a neighbor
former tv star
in Hong Kong
leading aerobics

we don't bounce around
though
some flesh may
be uncontrollable

we breathe
in and out
we stretch
and contract
and moan
and groan

and some of us
compare
grandma stories
about ourselves
because we are

I don't have the most
but I'm
the oldest

Hong Kong to Shiloh? How did I miss that?

Moved with family a few months ago. Shiloh's a classic ingathering of exiles. Exactly what Shiloh should be.
