Retirement

He was born for this. 
Been retiring his whole life.
Withdrawing from expectations,
impositions. 

Not averse to company
but reluctant to join,
to step up.
Content to kick back. 

Opportunities rarely seized,
regrets unformed.
Days open up just wide 
enough thank you.

But then ...
No, there is no
but
then.
