Here I Am

I’m staring down the barrel of being old

The big 4-0

Bad for being young

Bad for score in soccer if you’re on the opposing team

Have I been to enough parties?

Have I done enough?

Will there be enough time?

Should I find love?

Should I get a cool car?

There are so many questions

But the age has just changed

They’ve always been there

Just like me

I am infinite

And I want to be kind

Two Suits

I bought two suits in 2020
The promise of getting a new job
Things didn’t work out that way
And they stood in my closet
Waiting for a chance to do their thing
Now, I’ve worn them out
I lost sixty pounds from when I bought them
They fit me better now
I keep track of how often they go
To sad events or happy ones
Unfortunately, the score isn’t even
It’s been a hard five years
