since becoming housed here since this year

july first two thousand and seventeen,

tubby more precise where

with thee missus, amidst bucolic environs,

(one could don underwear

 

Schwenksville, Pennsylvania zip code

trees abundant with leaves of grass spare

zip cone: one nine four seven three,

this resident doth not find queer

 

disproportionate amount of time,

he spends never to overhear

the mostly soundproof walls

from inside apartment b44 assigned midyear,

 

one bedroom living social space

gives ample opportunity to assess linear

ratcheting asper elderly folks inch along

chronological space/time continuum

fragile as jasperware

 

many experience diminution

of vital sensory organs, and oft time cannot hear

even without television blasting away,

no doubt harboring anticipatory anxiey sans,

grim reaper's unannounced visit they fear

their non verbal body language

(when aye espy and stride-rite past,

an old lady or man riding wheel chair,

shuffling back where buffalo used to roam,

or trudging to common all purpose gathering place)

 

speaks volumes analogous to a frightened deer

when caught blindsided

within bright lights of an automobile 'ere

unsure which way to go, and dashing out in the thick
 

of evening rush hour traffic,

lacking notion, the figurative coast not clear

subsequently doe ting bucks killed, where birds of prey

thence loftily circle gracefully

 

gliding within upper atmospheric air

upon scrutinizing what doth appear

as a hollowed out existence induces me to de clear

to maximize utilizing each precious moment 'ere

before each major metaphorical cog and gear

 

frankly zaps, this dude looks like a lady,

cuz ah ma longish bedraggled hydrogen peroxide tinted hair

me haint give a rats ass

what rumor mongers relish, and behind me back jeer

 

Since old people lack for purposefulness tis unlike to leer

that one day (fast as snap of fingers),
   
lack of being ambulatory t'will be near

and upon limitation in physical functionality, aye aim to app pear

motivated to partake of mental exercises just sitting on me rear.
