disjointed

so much time
is wasted
out on the
porch
asking everyone
how old they are
as if that’s
interesting conversation
come on

that misplaced feeling

once my dad
almost
lost me at
an air show
I didn’t know
who I was
at all
back then

I have a better sense now
it is best
to be alone
most of the time
you can get
more done
that way

I like to talk when
I have an idea
but usually not
for the sake of
talking itself
what’s the worst
is talking about
other people
talking about
boring fallen off people
murderous family members
these old psychos

I know I’ll
never be
like them
I just know it
