have stories that they want to tell,
tall or short tales of
the adventures
that they lived,
but the young
are too busy
making
their own stories
to listen, to sit and be still.
no one
gathers around
like they used to
and ask
the elderly questions
about past lives, mistakes
made, regrets.
few if any let them express
how it used to be,
no one has the time now
or the patience
to listen to stories
about how life was
way back in the 1970s.
