quit the game, bro

'quit the game, bro'

old man

you insist on throwing yourself

at the twenty somethings

as if that thick wad in your pocket

will compensate for your grey shriveled balls 

and those eyes dance

like you once did in the day

only now you are reduced to

misinterpreted conversation

morning dosages of geritol.
