In a Pickle
being in a May-December relationship
could test the boundaries of patience
like the football socks under a teenager’s bed
it does not age well
these relationships have unique challenges
the rehashed stories of ‘the good old days’
smell of figments of their imagination
as it contradicts with history lessons taught
they harp on about ‘songs with words’
ones people could dance to
with their cheesy renditions of songs
accompanying conga lines of yesteryear
unlike today’s noisy club music
and the ability to twerk
will score you a Grammy Award
the mobility challenged can’t compete
they’ve bequeathed us an unhabitable world
where we all are now in a pickle
forming conga lines at border posts
as we try to dance out of harm’s way
