You have started saying you have always trained.
You have not always trained.

There were thirty-one years first, and they were not a warm-up for this.
The one who came up the stairs above the carpet showroom
with a towel from the airing cupboard, not knowing what the hooks were for,
was not an early draft of you.

They were a person in trouble. They solved it.
You have been spending the solution ever since
and you have never once thanked them for it.
