slip
into retirement like
a pair of
bedroom slippers,
into a silky robe
to lounge around with?
yes,
it's a good start, but
what to do
with all these hours?
which room
should i go to
to look out a window.
what's left
in this world to buy
that i don't already
have?
what country is urging me
to visit,
and why?
if these are the golden years,
why do i see
a ring of rust
around me?
i need to start
making new friends
soon
before they come
to take me
away.
