“The Hen House”

“The Hen House”

Cooped within ancient bodies,
this inhabitant dwells amongst an elder net
of crabby, crotchety, curmudgeonly claque
of old folks, only a portion of population I met
which achey, flaky, kooky motley crue
disgruntlement fed as peevish pet
aye be earnest asper my assessment,
but some (quite frankly) getting ready and set
to lay down their limb mitt less lives,
even those who survived harrowing
encounters as a vet.

Quotidian gossipers punctuate
air waves while:
sitting, riding, quartering,
puttering, operating, navigating,
motoring around on scooters
(the sole means of locomotion
for many elderly residents),
whose sole occupation incorporates:
zapping, yelping, yakking, whining,
weeping, verbalizing, venting,
uttering, undulating, thundering,
squawking, squabbling, screeching,
rumbling, rattling, quibbling, quarreling,
prattling, pestering, okaying,
offending, needling, nagging, mumbling,
maligning, leering, lampooning,
kvetching, kibitzing, jesting, jabbering,
irritating, insinuating, heckling,
harping, glomming, gabbing, fulminating,
fretting, exclaiming, emoting,
denigrating, damning, carping, cackling,
bragging, begging, agitating, acting
analogous to bad ass kids itching
for playground foo fight during recess,
which comparison might be apropos
since majority of energy and time expended
complaining about nobody's business
concerning this, that, or another tenant...
thee management not exempt from
badmouth outbursts),
where nondenominational AARP
qualified members congregate
within what constituted former auditorium
of repurposed elementary school,
hence quite some years ago
(an honorable NON GMO gluten free
cheerful toast made, instituting batter use
then building standing vacant)
a bona fide unanimous dogmatic, heroic,
linguistic welcome sans titular viz zit head
where alumni of alluded

alma mater, ivory fiery,
classy academic solvent atomic structure
became amalgamated, appropriated,
assigned a new life,
whereat fob dost electronically activate
innermost recessed sliding doors,
principally, quintessentially,
resoundingly availing maw
formerly entrancing students into
Schwenksville Elementary School,
though some years ago repurposed
with barely a trace
constituting current subsidized how
zing facility re: Highland Manor,
the residence of thyself and missus
(approaching then third month anniversary),
whereat I dune hot give a rats ass if
aimless airless baseless banter,
ceaseless chatter, dubious dabbling,
et cetera if this solitary ruminate thinker
the subject de jure of parlayed people
portraying penultimate purposelessness.
