Waiting for a Genius
I’m waiting for a genius
At the Apple store today
Where most customers are younger,
Knowing all will be okay.
At the counter, though, a woman
Who looks older than my age,
Sits and struggles with the agent
Who is helping her engage.
She, like me, is pretty clueless
(Though she seems a little worse)
And she’s viewed with some derision,
Though it once was the reverse.
Older doesn’t equal wiser
Like it used to long ago,
For with age comes new technology
Most older folk don’t know.
It’s a subject I’m repeating
And I realize it’s a bore,
But it’s really hard to handle
All I can’t do anymore.
