The Rollator ...

I saw the rollator in the hallway, next to the telephone table - 

My dad won't use the rollator - 

It makes me look old he told the OT - watch me walk - 

My mum took a few moments to recognise Anne - 

I sat on the sofa of memory holding my mum's hand - 

She said sometimes when I come back from the shop with the trolley, I say, please God, let me see someone I know - 

When I walked around Waitrose, every shopper was twinned with their older self - 

Even children were followed by flickering stooping shadows -
