a statement that is taken to be true

“Can you believe he’s going to be ninety? Next month?” Admiration cartwheeled across Thalia’s features. “Out walking with his cane, temps in the teens, and gale force winds — there was ice on the path! I want Typist to be him when she’s 89!”

“Admirable,” Nią looked up from the day’s planner.

“He said he can’t ‘sit around the house’ because when he does… he gets ‘all stiff.’”Calliope’s hamstrings gave a small cry of protest in response to an early morning forward fold. “Move it… or lose it.”

Words from Typist:

I collect octogenarians like a magnet attracts metal shavings. 😂
I wonder what that’s about?

What do you attract?
And do you wonder… Why?

Perhaps you’ll write a haiku, or a six-word-sentence in response?
