You know you’ve passed a Rubicon
When the conversation starts with You saying—
The problem with Your Generation is….
Okay. Boomer!
Is that the best You can do then?
Because that’s not the flex You think it is M’dears,
Particularly coming from those still wet behind the ears.
Crusty old Boomer!!
Yes, thank you. I’m well baked, and in the Good Afternoon of life.
You,
On the other hand, should live so long….
We often forget the urgency of youth
While We sometimes seek to relive some of it,
If only vicariously through others.
But nothing’s very urgent anymore is it?
Because You’ve been there. Done that.
Mind the Gap.
In my day…
We say.
Eyes roll backwards.
We often don’t notice how We carry on, or how
We might come across; and vice-versa as
You too will become Us.
A blend of Parent one and Parent two.
You may blame your woes on such nonsense as not having been
Breast fed, chest fed? or otherwise ridiculously affirmed in some manner;
While trying in vain it seems to actively avoid developing any inner locus of control.
But do carry on developing the outer one bad actors would rather You
Focus upon and blame everything for;
Instead of taking some responsibility and moving the fuck on.
But no.
You want saints who never put a foot wrong.
We live in an age where Everything appears
Pathologized, Medicalized, Idolized, or Trivialized;
Often all at the same time.
There has to be a better way!
Yet it appears that the more done in the name of
Saving
Anything
Makes it all worse.
Yet still the world moves toward an event horizon it will cross anyway;
The Fourth Turning
Will not be held at bay.
Mind the Gap
Don’t fall in.
You’re next.
Then,
It all begins again.
