heading to Florida

everyone
it seems of a certain age
is moving
to Florida.
collecting
their pay and heading south.
cashing in.
i see them packing
their cars,
their trucks
and vans. loading things
onto the roof.
the kids are grown,
the dogs
have died.
now it's our time they
say with
a weary smile.
golf clubs and fishing
poles hang
out the window
as they take off, 
but they don't get far,
they have to stop 
to pee
before the second mile.
