Zywa Younger elderly

You see yourself being
pushed to the margins
where the past piles up
and is pushed over the edge

Tangible, smell-able gasoline
becomes a hidden current
and the news also
no longer flows in fixed channels

Times are changing
more than you do, you no longer participate
in everything and you start to doubt
causes and consequences

Those who are duped are out of luck
Compensations are always pending
you have to make do with what you have
count your blessings and be happy

that younger generations know how
to find their way in the world
that you helped to lubricate, somewhere
in a dot on Earth
