i used to
as a kid
when i remembered
i was a kid
thought that it sucked
rough concrete is hard
to punch through with
small pudgy fingers

nowadays
i think of when i
was a kid, and how
it never really was
something considered
"the good old days"

the fact that some had
involved parents makes
my envy grow to immense
billows, especially since this
basic luxury was revoked as a child

when i have kids, or if, since
my idea on them isn't yet so solid, i'm
not gonna be a dick to them
and neglect them because
they're inconvenient to my life
if i have them, they're
gonna have a great dad,
i think

boomer culture be damned
