a bit scary now
to realize
that these days
the so-called mid-life crisis
seems to happen
around the age of thirty

the unforeseeable dangers
of a new digital frontier
the boomers not living as long
as their parents
who broke the world
trying to save it

history may not repeat itself
exactly
but the past does echo

we freed our minds
but polluted our bodies
and now our kids
are far from alright

the brightest of them
rage and rant
as our terrible chickens
come home with a vengeance
while the rest cloister quietly
waiting for some unbelievably fantastic
deliverance

meanwhile
as today’s unprepared
and hesitant elders
we stand aside
and shiver

Peace/Love/Vote
