Age, specifically mine, has begun to define me.
I think of “The Twilight Zone” imagining a world
But not this one.
I think of a world without humans.
After all, we’ve already had our shot.
A world free of abuse, corruption and assholes.
Well, only literal assholes will be allowed.
Actually, if you make exceptions for wasps and feces-throwing primates, all assholes will be welcomed!
Maybe my imagined world will have time for sleep,
Because, you know, not this one.
Not at my age.
Not this one.
I can really relate to this poem!
Yes! I feel it too. Well said! Thank you.
Fantastic piece!
I love the infusion of humour and allusion esp to Twilight Zone! I feel you and hear you! I love the repetition of “not this one” and the contrast between a relatively ideal world with “this one.” Well said, thought provoking and humorous. “Not This One” has a lot to share!
