Description
I'll be the first to admitthat the liquor has me
actin' a bit silly
But it's something
I do partake in
and it's a part of
getting older.
I can't remember
where my phone is...
and I'm sure its on
vibrate. Dammit!
I probably did
smoke a bit much,
but that's done
and over with.
I have the cough
for proof.
I don't know why
but my car has seemed
to misplace me in the
parking lot.
Bills are paid
for the month.
And I can finally relax,
getting older.
Wait...
aren't I missing something?

Ah, the things we miss as we get older. I like this poem. It leaves me with a sense of one of those poems that laments the loss of youth, but isn't blatant about it...

I'm particularly fond of losing my cell phone and keys. Everything else is usually fine.

I am not sure about this, but isn't it: "am I missing something?", I just thought about it, don't know if this is correct or not.
I find this "I don't know why, but my car has seemed, to misplace me in the, parking lot." (sorry for the commas hehe)" very interesting, and I don't know if I get it wrong but when reading it I can't help thinking that.. you've ended up somewhere you weren't supposed to end, in life. Like you wanted to be somwhere else, or perhaps you're just a little confused. I don't know, just a thought haha. Good poem anyway

It's simply about getting older. Standing in a parking lot wondering where you car is when you swore you parked it here when it was there. Lack of commas is more than intentional. Rather than a short pause I want readers to look at it as a dramatic pause.

yeah okay, hahaha. Yes I know it is, but I had to add some commas when putting the text together like I did dramatic pauses are good.
