Oh
I can tell you’re proud
And I’m certainly glad
You’ve kept your looks

But to be honest
The both of us are of an age
That should be thankful
That someone for reasons
Other than keeping out
The cold invented clothes

So here we are
Again on the edge
Of a brave new world
Deciding what together
If anything we should do

Restaurants and movies

Let the restaurants fail
The movies run down

What do they
Have to do with us
Who have lived real lives
That are now in their last
Good years

Yet there you stand
In your slim blue jeans
Intent on pretending
We’re still thirteen

Well perhaps my dear
On reconsidering

This wasn’t
Such a good idea
After all

I think I agree here, John. I prefer the memories of better days, myself. I would leave the wrinkled jailbait alone too.
Oh, I'm going to take some flack for this.

Thank you both

Frankly I didn't expect
any response except silence

but sometimes
it just gets tired . . .

Thanks again

John

found this one a ways back John,
and I just love it. I love the snapshots your poetry mind takes for us.
