Nothing You Can'T Bear

Eerily absent at first neither dormant nor lurking Even at maturation and beyond neither networking nor smirking In stealthy pursuit, it may produce a twinge here, a creak there Nothing serioius nothing you can't bear... Suddenly, there's a little more of you around the middle You linger at the table, lazing and longing the morning away The grind you'd long ago mastered starts impeding on your newly precious days You reach for the caffeine a little too often and an afternoon nap is no longer foreign Weekends can't come soon enough and the bosses all act so young and tough ... Now what are you doing walking with a cane and when did you come to fear a short drive in the rain Every youth in a hoodie is a threat to you ~ Terror rules what's left of your brain
