there’s an odd thing that happens
when yer over 50
and you lose weight
shit falls
boobs
neck
arse
arms
thighs
knees
I swear…it’s an epidemic!
wtf?
I didn’t sign on
for this getting old crap!
I walk the constant line
between
keeping my gut disease happy
and keeping my blood disease happy
it seemed easier
to see saw
in weight
when I was younger
cos when it went down
I still looked robust
this time
I’m just saggy
every.damn.where..
I often
look down at my hands
and think
wtf happened?
where’d these come from?
I’m resigned…
my misspent youth
is spent
as an adult
on t’other side of 50
I don’t feel in the least bit
like my life is over
there’s still heat in the furnace
not that anyone’s been allowed to notice
for about 15 yrs
it’s just a new chapter
apparently to be spent
in my mother’s skin.
