Old woman, lipstick
many rituals won't die
even when looks fade
Mark, i'm putting this into my/our August showcase TODAY! ! Thanks. bri :)

i didn't recall reading (and commenting) on this EARLIER THIS YEAR! ! ! am i getting OLD! ! ! ....(yes) . i'm glad you looked at Loke Kok Yee's contribution to literature (and photography) which i mentioned to you. to MyPoemList. oops! already did it, i guess. i plan to use this in August's showcase soon, where SHORT POEMS by some PH friends will be featured as well as poems mentioning racism. bri :)
Very true! I'm likely to be 95 and still wearing bright shades of lipstick! lol But hey, why not? Just because you get old on the outside doesn't mean your spirit does too. Great observational work! ~
Following Bri’s advice is not wise From your friends you may be ostracize He is wallowing in sin The same place that I am in Where the aged tries to womanize Thanks Mj
