I could be his grandfather
So a peer relationship is likely not in the mix
Yet his expertise surpasses my own
An expertise I need
Technology
The bane of the aged
The bond of the ages
Generating the collaboration which is the extent of our bond
He declined money
Our signifiers differ significantly
So collaboration and my interest in the youth world
From the perspective of my so different world
So different signifiers
His life ahead of him, much of mine behind me
My crippling need of his expertise, coupled with his self-confidence
Technology
Will collaboration serve for a peer relationship
Our mutual interests
Our alliance uneasy
Our uneasy generation gap
