(with props to Craig Burnett’s classic ‘Middle Aged Man’)
Hey, Middle-Aged Dad
with tousled hair, Moleskine,
rings of bling and smirky snark
bombing down the road
in your shiny, black, German
…station wagon
eye on the clock, making good time
for two hours
then stopping for 50 minutes
to talk to pine cones
play music on sticks
run circles in the grass
two steps forward
one step back
landslide of diminishing returns
you’re going nowhere
fast
Middle-Aged Dad
