20 somethings in suits
proud of their jobs
proud of their incomes
proud of their lunch choice
salad, healthy, not like the old days
their lives on track nearing the corner
gym membership holders filling manilla folders
401k contributors who never forget conditioner
all Emperors of their ladder rung
30 is in their sights
they're thinking next steps
going to be fastest to do the steps
ever.
feeling secure and steady
knowing tomorrow as well as yesterday
my planner says 60
but he probably means 65
and most likely 70
but it's easy not to stress
when you have the same conversations
and know how to dress
