“that joke isn’t funny anymore”

talking of clichés
you spin
in circles
all your life
round and round and round
getting track 1, side two, meat is murder
and still making
obscure references
to johnny marr

you missed
your first milestone:
too busy
to notice
that you had turned
turned turned
turned
thirty-three-and-a-third

forty-five
and of course
that joke isn’t funny anymore
spinning more
for less
and not looking forward
to the next milestone
we used to use 78s
as frisbees
