The New Old Age (for Susan Jacoby)

I don't trust your intentions
when you say you know how
to make me live longer
to make me feel younger
to make me screw younger
to make me remember everything
to make me run a marathon
to make me climb a mountain
to make me full of energy

because everything you say
comes with a price tag

I have an idea
why don't you take your products
and shove them up your ass
and shut the fuck up

I like my old age
filled with peace and quiet
