The Eternal Complaint of the Elderly
Old men don’t seem to recognize the world
Its shifting cultural expectations,
Unstable tectonics in music and art
The vaporous now in the confident young
Confusion and speed, meanings without words
Words without meanings, opaque cues and codes
Mutual unintended inattention
And the sense of being invisible
Old man, the world doesn’t even see you -
And it’s all probably better that way
