they were once green fields

is it age,
maturity of some sort.
has the boy
in you
died.
no longer are you checking
box scores
in the morning news.
no longer
wasting fine
days
watching children
a third your
age tossing balls
and running across 
green fields.
it was glorious when
it was you,
but
now a good book,
a good movie,
a walk
with you will do.
