mowing the lawn with style

you realize

at some point that you

are still wearing

the same

exact style of clothing

that you wore

in your twenties.

khaki shorts, and t-shirts.

long or

short sleeved.

tennis shoes.

a hat.

blue jeans,

and boots,

and off you go.

long gone are the days

of cary grant.

the white shirt

and tie,

the grey flannel suit.

a splash of cologne on

your cheeks

as crank up the mower

to cut the grass.
