Mind the Gap
For all of you
Unattached
Aging, older men,
Incomplete and
Anxiously
Patching up,
The damage done,
Mind the gap.
There are rules
Of thumb, such
As half and seven,
And fairy tales like
Love is heaven,
And hearts can float
Above the traps,
Mind the gap.
Sixty two less
Thirty six gives
Twenty six valid
Reasons, not
Expressed at first
But nonetheless
The math is real,
Mind the gap.
