Whoosh

whoosh --
that was the sound --
that I heard on the ground
as you rocketed past me last night,
on your way to new heights
with your boy of 45;
he's got me by nine years,
plus, he's local --
sounds like a new bus --

but I shouldn't be
bitter and vocal;
so I'll be more mature in my ways,
and I'll be bitter
on alternate days;
on the evens,
I'll be vocal.
