Retro Dreaming

An avalanch of skates, blasters and disco mirrors

I'm rolling down and over the hill
on a previous currency rate
But I still want to pause and do everything
I want to be that dog that learns new tricks
I want to pickup piano, guitar,
a flute or drumming sticks
I want to paint a masterpiece
Discover my voice to sing sing
I want to write a magnum opus
And rock it like a royal king
And do all sorts of things to take away the sting
Aging can be distracted by good memories
That I do believe
So perhaps if I get busy enough
I'll find soothing repreive
I want to exchange my disappointment
for hopes of something more
I'm not ready to close the door
to a pleasant surprise in store
I don't need to travel but can't deny
There are still some funky places
to where I'd like to fly
I lost my license years ago
But I'd like to drive again
To chauffer around the city
a smorgasboard of trendy friends
But dealing in such commodity
By someone of my age and status
Appears to be an oddity
It's like a second midlife crisis
In any case I'm way too broke
To conjure such devices

There is so much to digest in this Al. Regrets, missed opportunities, disappointments,  ...or just midlife crisis....understood either way. Good write x

Cheers Marion.... yes, I was exploring some of my own ambivalence about what I want to get out of this season of my life.
