Body Image

With time, women gain weight because we accumulate so much information and

wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out
to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured,
educated and happy.

Beginning today, when I look at my posterior in the mirror I will think,
Good grief, look how smart I am!
Must be where 'Smart Ass' came from!


Losing Gravity

Exuberant senses had been awakened
Skyrockets exploding in the galaxy of love
Voyages to unexplored territories
and excitement of undoubting pleasure

And then

My sense of belonging lost its gravity
Through muddled territory unbeknownst to me
Emotions swirling down beyond the vast sea
As I drowned in the tears of my sadness.

(However, I grab a carton of ice cream and start to feel better)
