overthinking age,
wishing it were back in the day.
Strained my quad
on Go Skateboarding Day,
go figure for a 41-year-old.
The 90s are to us
what the 50s were for our folks,
just a better time.
Not looking forward
to my body breaking down
because I still want to run and jump.
Wash myself in rooibos tea,
I never met my dad,
but I am my father's daughter.
However you define it,
we remember as we choose
and I am old.
