Diminishment

Attainable goals and new fortified benchmarks,
Headboards and notches diminish with age,
Detachable retinas and toys without batteries
Once thought of as childish but now, all the rage

My pound shoppers paradise of throw away tampons
And charity finds for the nearest to new
Money tight-fisted, reluctantly bargained
For colostomy bags
from collection point Q

Grey hair speeds up with a force to be reckoned,
Aging quite gracefully now retreats its advance…
A crotchety witch with her snap purse unopened
My genteel diminishment,

Ha!
Some fucking chance.

Comments: My new years/mid life crisis resolution is to piss myself in shops on a regular basis, kick tins of beans over in supermarkets, hit people with my walking stick and swear at police officers. All this to do before I reach 36 is quite a tall order.

Search for Yourself
(Read into Everything)

A man I know told me, that sometimes, he searches through my wesbite; searching for himself within my words
I hate to disappoint anyone who does this, and I can certainly guarantee them this:
You will not find what you are looking for.
I write much
And most of it,
Is not about you.
I will also add an addendum to this statement, we'll call it a confession.....
I have no time for men with idle time

To seek out self-obsession.

Recombinant DNA

Slowly but surely I figured that wayfinding is finding your way among the tribes of the stupid
I have always had a ‘thing’ for men who wear polyester football shirts
Example:
I support Liverpool football team (I don’t, but I’m trying to demonstrate a point)
I am a follower of a ball, I am a follower of a man who kicks a ball to another man, who then kicks the ball.
Etc.
I know I know, I’m a woman we’re not supposed to understand such a ‘complex sport’
However as a woman, and you, if you’re a man reading this, you may have come across something called spontaneous wit and all-out facetiousness
We are women; it’s what we do.
We’ll continue to be clever and put you down
You continue to be stupid and follow a ball
And as an aside
Polyester-
Not a good look

Pick up a book once in a while, you may learn something.

But, I doubt it.
