over 55
though i've never seen anyone
that young
living there.
it's a five mile
circle with cookie cutter
homes. one floor
with easy entry tubs.
nice, with trees and lawns.
sprinklers
going all summer long.
there's a pool
and a club house
in the middle.
a pickleball court
and a vegetable garden.
there's a board of
homeowners
that walk around with
clipboards
giving stars for the daffodils.
on holidays there's a parade.
a Santa Claus for Christmas.
but no children
live here, though
everyone waves
when you're driving by.
everyone seems happy
and content
at the end of their lives.
friendly even.
it's a very strange place,
where do i sign?
