At the water park
you don't feel so out of shape
you eat fried foods
sit on damp grass
and play guess their age
after a certain time
we're all "old" anyway
we slow down and pick up fat and wrinkles and balding patterns and cankles
meanwhile
the real youth fly
through neon play equipment
collecting scabs and sunburns
in a haze of hot dog smoke
on to tomorrow
