Showing My Age

My friends and I
Used to climb trees
Drink booze in the park
Ding dong dash
Throw sticks at each other
Drive around aimlessly
Go to parties
Fools having fun

And now
Just 10 or so
Years later
I see kids
Living in a digital world
And it makes me sad
To see them
Choose simulations of life
Rather than
The real thing

I guess
Had I been born later
I’d be no different
