Are we ageing differently
compared to those before us?
Are we more or less desperate,
crushed, lonely and exasperated?

Living at our parents' houses,
the young folks home,
the pre-retirement home,
the pre-home home.

Consumerism was probably a lot
more pleasurable without the ethical concerns. Wars were probably hitting less close to home and further from our wallets.

Money is expensive and twenty-six is old enough to have your very own depression. Am I doing everything right?

There's kids on apps with more success
while I'm working, from home, my pre-home home, alone for way way less

Is it me, our time, my age or this wine?
That got me feeling
twenty-six.
