I feel like all I do is channel my dead Bunica lately.
OLD AND UGLY
Who cares if you are old and ugly
Who cares if I am old and ugly
Who cares if people think that about you
I am old, I was old, and wanted to die
Without our husbands we are nothing.
Who cares
All the love and all the money.
Old Woman is the most powerful
The more teeth are falling out the more they love you
No man owns me
No man will own me
Drink this drink
Take this pill
At this age they take care of you.
Have children before you starve
No one is ever going to want to marry you.
These are the refrains we tell ourselves to survive
The news is awful and they come to me in their folk costumes
I will be joining them shortly
I leave behind a world torn apart by lust and ignorance.
All the love and all the money.
