The classification’s ‘retired’, meaning I’ve ceased to
work, or lead a quiet, secluded life, reduced contact
with other people implied, or am reserved & taciturn;
okay, so I will be all of these, if it concerns me - just
because you see requirements I will frolic footloose
and fancy-free - surely there’ll never be agreement
on how to play my foisted character-role - and if we
don’t get a say we reserve a right to stroll away
Then even if the truth is one’s comfort fits well with
vistas of quiet seclusion, it is amidst drudgery you
dramatise as ‘active’ life; thus there is an immense
chasm adrift in seas of delusion about whose view
bridges the gap between you seeing only that and
what we imagine - having been there & written it
