my age

14 7 4
                                    


so i guess it is time

for me to get the dried bread

and find the bench

i can call my own

where i can lean on my cane

and feed the pigeons


i guess its time

for me to watch daytime tv

nighttime gameshows

sip warm water

wear depends

and sit in the food court

at the mall

with my own people


i guess its time

for me to accept my age

and act my age

and be my age ...


FUCK THAT
