I’ve cut my toenails & fingernails
Plan to shower and shave
I have this whole day
and a cold.
I’m older next week and the people i speak to daily
say 36 is still young
that I’m “in my prime!”
I find that…
Interesting.
Bring the jug to the boil and seek out my tweezers
See,
All of this takes effort.
I’ve straightened my hair
Found something to wear
I have snot-balled toilet paper in a plastic bag by my bed.
Fed myself cigarettes
I’m finding the energy to stop procrastinating
Bring the jug to the…
No
Fill the jug with 6 Ltrs of water
See,
All of this takes effort.
I’ve applied 04 foundation mixed with tinted moisturizer
Eyes coated with two blends of a glittery shade
Paid $48 for mascara that still lumps
and clumps like my lashes have fallen down a coal mine.
I’m older next week
still yet to seek out those tweezers
Jesus, this is tiring!
I
just
Sneezed.
Great.
So my face now looks as if I’ve hit a tar pit
Shit!
All of this and I’ve not yet left the house.
However,
I still have half a day
and this cold
Am closer to being that much older next week.
Powder peach-pink particles
across the bones of my cheek
Spritz my neck with
DKNY Fresh Blossom
Search the bottom of my hand bag for Papaw
and shut the door behind me.
