injuries

it's been a long time
same old hockey equipment for the past 12 years
used to be top-of-the-line yo
time to replace some of it
toured the sports store yesterday
discovered why so many young players are
concussed
elbow pads are rock solid and take up most of the arm
of no interest to me
raided my dad's musty old hockey bag
scored top-of-the-line elbow pads
from the 70's
perfect
after a wash or two
