my casual mid-life crisis

what’s the trajectory of a mid-life crisis?

does it crash and burn,
like the Harley Davidson i bought with borrowed money?

does it elevate me,
like my new shaved/bleached hairdo?

does it stay and linger,
like the heaviness in my gut?

this isn’t a crisis so much as a subtle unnamed unrest

maybe my trip to Jamaica will fix it
