Vox article  Baby Boomers 1946 to ’64 are Ageing. Their kids aren’t ready.

bullet points

  *  By 2030, the US will, for the first time, have more residents over 65 than children.

  *  The physical demands, medical bills, and logistics of caretaking create an immense amount of pressure for millennials.

  *  There’s no magic bullet. However, that doesn’t mean the situation is hopeless.

  *  Caregivers say the time they spent with their parents was invaluable.

                                                                                             actually theres a silver .22

I aint sayin somethings wrong  but something aint right thats what woke him

                                                                                 it was raining there was a pack of wolves

for the dogs they kept their distance

the pond outside the cabin had overflowed its banks narrowly cutting the dirtgravel road

walking up the stones under the illfitted cabin door he could see the roof hadnt leaked  hed make a fire

between the people and dogs   They can stay outside.   They aint werent for them some wolves might be fighting over your bones

             between everyone it was going to be a tight fit

night was falling

felt particularly heavy

                           daunting

what to do with a daunting night

   daunt back show teeth

                              barking up the wrong tree to think well rollover

We’ll?

          You.

Wrong

         I aint sayin you aint overestimating yourself  youre underestimating me

I get tha often

it was his secret power super power

he didnt sleep he kept the fire stoked

                                       kept his eyes on sideway eyes one at a time wolf muzzles probing under the door

a revolver rested in his lap

   the rain brokeSUN cut the cloudsblazing hotwhite slipping between breaks and cracks in the chink painted the soft secretive motes that floated in the air

                                        the intense brightness penetrated sleeping eyes waking them

as they rousedpulled off woven hatsscratched their heads he pumped water into a coffee pot tossed in handmilled coffee and hung it over the fire stoking it again

tossed some potatoes into it laid out hardtack pointed to the sieve and tin cups

                                                                                    Im laying down

he laid on a handtied rug with the sun creepingup his back

he was out

 

I aint sayin somethings wrong  but something aint right

        

                                                               . . . it was raining
