Sarah on Aging


I am the woman with the wrinkled wrinkled skin
I am the laughing woman with the wrinkled wrinkled face
I am losing my mind to thought (no dignity—no grace)
  I am searching just to please
  And gave up praying on my knees
    And I laugh
I am the laughing woman who's never quite felt whole
I am the laughing woman who doesn't trust a soul
