Retirement Plan

you want money for your retirement

buy a car park

we disapproved but paid anyway

 

got into the cinema

too early

had to sit through the adverts

 

noticed people watching them

why would they do that

they've come to see a film

 

then they go home

and watch more adverts

why would they do that

 

because they accrue wasted time
like it's part of the policy

like it gains interest
 
like years from now they'll share a smirk
with the other retirees

a je ne regrette rien sort of smirk

.

It's pretty good. I like it quite a bit. Life does put taxes and interests on our time as people do, like the old fuckers that stand in front of the escalator entrance at the supermarket with their dead skin faces stuck in an iphone.
Good stuff man.

Thank you for commenting, CLR9. I might be one of "the old fuckers that stand in front of the escalator entrance at the supermarket with their dead skin faces."

It's all gravy
