the american dream

when you get old
they expect
you to get a little red sports car,
play golf,
buy a boat,
join the country club.
they expect you to wear
white pants,
with loafers
a checkered shirt
maybe grow a mustache
or a goatee
get a mistress on the side
a house on the water
in Florida
go fishing as you fade
out of relevance.
it's the American dream.
