i want to move to a country of wild, grim, man-eating people

someone advised me that i should lay low
go on a crusade

there's one next week
but what is risky

and ill-advised
is seeing a production of hamlet

on a tuesday night
we saw cats on the thursday

my son whispered that he was
incredibly bored

but who ain't 
i'm discussing cannibalism

at the steak & eggs cafe
but also discussing middle-age

and health deterioration 
transition of identity 

and lack of life accomplishments 
we leave the cafe 

my friend turns to me and says
let's go fly a kite
