Golden Age Routine

by CJ Heck, Leo - Not entered

So 
alone
at home.
Ancient folks,
old jokes
in the park
till dark.
Checkers games
feel sane.
Antagonize,
criticize,
because
they're wise.
Twilight
brings the night.
Wave goodbye,
tell the lie,
...Look forward
to tomorrow...
At home
alone
again.

Reason for writing:

    Walking through the park, spotted these gentlemen playing checkers...hours later, again walked back through the park and they were still there.  Wondered if that's how their life was...
