Generation Whatever

 

I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. 

My life is my own.

 

-Patrick McGoohan in The Prisoner

 

Be not defined by dates and stereotypes

The endless clutter of cliches and cant

Generating generic generations

Of worthless weasel words of wanton waste

 

WHO are you?

Who ARE you?

Who are YOU?

 

That’s usually no one’s concern but yours

(The cop writing you a ticket gets to ask)

 

 

 

Thanks to Patty M at patty m - Hello Poetry  for lending me the consonant “W.”
