The “Kids” Table

When you are a kid

That is where

You are put

As an adult

That is where

I wish I was put

Enjoying the

Laughter and creativity

Fun and spontaneity

Inhibition with regularity

Instead of hearing

Medical maladies

Political tragedies

Workplace woes

Can’t touch your toes

Alzheimers uhm (forgot)

Still better yet to

Get a much longer table

Remind the elders of

What they were able

Eat quietly while dining

Absorb the lights shining

From young-uns smiling

Without life deciphering
