Stages In the Art of Giving Up

Stages in the “Art of Giving Up” Suspenders My ass won’t hold the pants up anymore Turn Signals Just leave ‘em on I forgot where I was headed Velcro closures If you know why it’s already too late Your “mobile” phone Is no longer that mobile Its ringtone Bring on the Clowns Stairways Look like an optical illusion Your birthday No longer a celebration…. More of a destination Your ZUMBA class Sounds like a cricket discussion group Your feet resemble those of Bilbo Baggins “FUZZY SOCKS AND CROCS” 6/8/2021 Fuzzy socks and crocs Poetry Contest
