there’s an odd thing that happens
when yer over 50
and you lose weight

shit falls
boobs
neck
arse
arms
thighs
knees

I swear…it’s an epidemic!

wtf?
I didn’t sign on
for this getting old crap!

I walk the constant line
between
keeping my gut disease happy
and keeping my blood disease happy

it seemed easier
to see saw
in weight
when I was younger

cos when it went down
I still looked robust

this time
I’m just saggy
every.damn.where..

I often
look down at my hands
and think
wtf happened?
where’d these come from?

I’m resigned…
my misspent youth
is spent

as an adult
on t’other side of 50
I don’t feel in the least bit
like my life is over

there’s still heat in the furnace
not that anyone’s been allowed to notice
for about 15 yrs

it’s just a new chapter
apparently to be spent
in my mother’s skin.

In December of 2010
a friend of mine
that lives in Grand Forks BC
put an envelope
in the post
to me containing
a sew on patch
that I had won
in naming her Pepto-Bismol pink
GMC tracker
(her name is Flo
and I called it
the Flomobile…
wasn’t a big stretch
er nothing).

It never arrived.

Today
I received in the mail
an envelope
from a lady
in Memphis TN…
she lives at 109 Wallace Rd
I live at 109-???? Wallace Dr…
she lives in Memphis TN
and I live in Victoria BC.

She got the envelope
and put it in another envelope
and mailed it to the address
that was on the front
of the original envelope.

I got it.

Weird eh?
