sadly disapointed

I was not sure id be able to follow them

my generation

into the next phase

the next phase that i was not really experiencing 

while participating in it with them

i felt i was beyond it

again

but they let me in

and no one seemed to notice  

boy was i glad

didnt have a disguise good enough

to get in it with the big dogs

as they were running my pace

looking at me with disdain

and distrust

cuz of my age

the muscles in my legs 

pulled tight

and dried 

and hardened

into place

as we all know unused

muscles

do

after too 

much time

the 20 somethings 

let me jog with them

and boy was i glad

slackened my pace

let my face

drop

a comfortable spot.

if you look for me 

in the places

i would be 

by now

having known me

in the past

you will be sadly

disapointed.
