This Is Fifty-Two
Comfortable shoes.
Worn-in jeans.
Over-sized sweaters.
Rage.
Four-thirty in the morning wake-ups from a feline friend.
Low-carbohydrate eating.
Achy hips and other joints.
Coffee shop chats with the bitches.
Long, warm hugs from the kids.
Pretty Little Liars.
Candles and soap.
Warm showers.
Rage.
Cold showers.
Itchy skin and kneecaps.
Wild, witchy hair.
Glasses perched on the nose.
Gratitude at the little things.
Intolerance for intolerance.
Hope for the future.
Varicose veins.
Rage.
Pelvic floor therapy.
Zoloft.
Coffee every morning, sometimes two cups.
Three shirts in the winter, sometimes four.
Purple moons hidden by eyeglasses.
Rage.
