#1055 - the young

the young

 

how beautiful!

nothing they can help

 

now they’re from everywhere

not like before

but spin

go warily, they know so far

 

I’ve seen them put feet up on seats

might be violent thugs

 

all sad for the future

or else they can’t care

 

drift breakneck all way, widdershins

with never a devil may care

 

could speak almost anything

still strive as by reflex

 

in summer show flesh much inscribed

many will wear a mask

 

the young are a message for us

nor yet learned to phrase

 

their loneliness is tapped away

to the well of a screen

each holds in their paw

 

gender may come later

 

I have thought to protect myself

what hopes?

 

I wish them nothing, only fun

 

you know I once was one
