the early morning meet up group

i join the local
meet up group
trying to make some
new friends.
they take hikes
around the lake,
and play
checkers.
sometimes they
go to the mall
when it's cold out.
i'm learning about
bird watching.
and cross stitching,
how to play a banjo.
at the end of the day
we take a group
nap
in the school gymnasium.
i'm becoming very informed
about end of life
insurance policies.
they depress me
though,
with their canes,
and walkers.
continually talking about
world war two
and Roosevelt, how
the great depression was
a bummer.
i'm always yelling
at them
to hurry up,
come on people,
we ain't getting any
younger,
and wiping oatmeal off
the front of their
clothes.
i may have joined
a decade or two too
early.
