I used to make a point
to deviate from the norm
– whatever norm I could think of.
I don’t do that quite so much now.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m older,
more mature,
or because maybe I blew my wad earlier
and I can’t think of further norms to explode.

There’s certainly further envelopes to push.
As an older gent, I probably am less familiar
with what’s weird today
and wouldn’t know deviance
if it tickled my bum ’til kingdom come.

Anyway,
I’ve sort of normalized by now.
Wanna go get some hot dogs?
