Today I work till I couldn’t see,
looking for work is not children’s play,
I was told they see you clearly if you apply for jobs online,
I don’t think that’s true,
they send me stupid jobs irrational jobs,
I’m 65!
I am no longer old enough to go in the service,
Done that!
Wore my country’s colors twice!What for Honor!
there is no honor when when your government sees you as too old to do anything and yet if you are Cher,Jane Fonda, Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin, Barbra Streisand,
Age is meaningless,
Jamie Lee Curtis shocker my age!
these women are class Acts!
Melissa Etheridge my age !
they forget that under the makeup or National treasures,
No one would tell Barbra Streisand she has to be in a nursing home!
That she’s too old to exist!
Barbara is 81 years old,
Jane Fonda is in her ’80s,
Yes it makes me mad that I’m assumed to be old because I’m 65 I’m not old I have gray hair which I’m going to change,
My dear friend likes prayer she says it looks nice,
I think it looks more white than Gray and it makes me look old as Methusiola,
I’m not a thousand years old,
I’m 16 in reality,
Or you get you’re still only 16 but your body which is only a temporal container ages,
My spirit I am not an age!
If you look at anyone see an older person you’re to blame it’s all on you!
Now I have to go and feed four cats ravioli clean up kitty poop we have no kitty litter the only kitty litter we had this month is stuff that clumps and laminates itself to the bottom of the kitty pan,
And that’s been gone for sometime,
I have no food all my food I share with the cats it’s a lousy diet I can’t change until I have money coming in so I pay off what I owe fix up my home and maybe sell it or get away so I and my cats can leave,
I live in Iowa I’m not Iowan,
Virginian,
Wisconsinite,
South Dakotan,
poet,
writer,
animal lover,
lesbian soft Butch,
timeless,
dust!
