The defence counsel said
after reading his antecedents
(16 convictions from 25 charges)
“The Defendant is 27, still a relatively young man.”
And I thought christ,
I’m 27 this year.
Last I checked I was a young man
and now this relativity has stolen in
like a bastard homewrecker
whilst I’ve been busy working.
Relative to what
I wonder, a rougheye rockfish?
The Xin dynasty?
The cobalt they hack up
in the heat of the Congo
to pack into the batteries
of electric cars?
Either way
when I go to the bathroom
and look in the glass
I can’t help but think
god, he’s right.
You’re definitely young. I’d love to be 27 again.
This is nice.
I would like to be 27 again also. I would watch out if I was you though, check your cholesterol and have a prostate exam; that is the age that Jimi, Kurt, Janis and Brian Jones all croaked
Yes, the 27 club, thanks for the advice!
