Old Guys Are Afraid of Tomorrow

Old Guys Are Afraid of Tomorrow

 

Old guys like to tell stories
That's how they communicate
That’s how they make love to the cosmos
That's how they push a pile
Of elephant vomit wrapped in experience
And call it wisdom
But you and I don't give a hoot
Wrinkles are no license
For grumpy nonsense
Take a pain pill
And leave us the heck alone.

Mark Antony Rossi is a poet, playwright and author of eight books.
