the old one
takes his time
relaxes and fishes

why yes, i’m happy to wait here all day while you check my i.d.
i’ll just stand right by this alert and tan in the glow of its light.

thanks so much for sending help.
does anyone else have this message on their screen?
oh?
you i.d. everyone?
great policy.

for age is opportunity no less than youth itself, though in another dress,
