Women of A Certain Age

Women of A Certain Age

“we’ve become of a
certain age,” she said.
“i’ll be damned if i’m
gonna let it define us.

i flinched for a second,
then went to numb, having
tackled far greater pain
than this;

i turned to Anita, and
said “your nose or your
nipple, girlfriend –
you are next.”
