the older you become

the older

you become, 

the less you understand

the young,

despite

being there yourself

once upon

a glorious time.

the way they talk

and think

is baffling,

their strange

views, all of it

confuses you. their style

of clothes

and hair,

the piercings and tattoos,

the things they like to do.

you'd like to see

what becomes

of the world once they

take over,

but thankfully, by then,

the world

will be done with you.
