                                oh you
          young students with your studied walks
                                how you stretch the step
                     how you plant the catch
                                that’s what these legs were made for
                     and your crafted exss
                                                klar
                                                may
                                                shuns
                     joke-commenty and flexible and where else
                                could you possibly put
                                          a tattoo

                                you make me
          too old now to keep pace –
                     I just wander around in circles –
                                          you make me
                                too quiet to talk
                     and leave me only my breath …

                                … thank you
