Advice
Well, you should try to enjoy how bad it
is now
because it only gets worse
the woman in
front of me promised her friend
without
flinching
Well, damn that's true
her friend replied
I didn’t hear what
they were talking about
But it might as
well have been anything at all
Divorce
Aging
Traffic
Alzheimer’s
Disease
Climate change
They could have
been talking about their breasts
and the
inevitable sagging that will take its turn
or the neighbor
down the street who yells at the mail man
for waking him
from his nap
every time there’s
a knock on the door that needs a signature
or maybe their
teenage daughters
the angst
the shifting
into their adult selves
the motherly yearning
to cradle them in arms
when hearts are
broken
the slamming of
bedroom doors
or maybe the
opened bottle of cheap wine
that has been
sitting half full on the counter for 3 days
and
They’re right, they’re right
They’re right, they’re right
