you to be quiet so that they
can tell
you a story.
come over here and sit
by me.
let me tell you what happened
back in my day.
was it sixty-one,
or two,
maybe sixty-three?
but the young are
impatient, they want
the punch line now,
the end before
the beginning.
they don't want to waste
time on the middle.
they need to get away,
and out,
their own stories
itching to start.
