Talking and Dreaming

Young people hang out, talking and dreaming
   Old folks kick back and ponder life's meaning

In be-tweeners, too busy to stop and think
   work 'til exhausted ~ drown tomorrow in drink

Either you're doing a lot of observing now or have in your past. You paint such accurate observations in many of your poems Gershon. By the way, I really like the name Gershon ... soup mail what you know of it's origin if you don't mind, I'll soup mail my meaning or the meaning I have conceived it means. Bill

I am so glad I am no longer an in-be-tweener "too busy to stop and think"- but I used to be.
