Day: July 12, 2025

More than ever in my life
I am cognizant of death
coming for me
as it always has been
from the day I was born
I was oblivious to it
stalking me in my
young and often
carefree days
but now I can feel it
drawing nearer
day by day

I see in crime shows many women pulled
over on highways for drunk driving.
It’s like an epidemic and so unseeming.
Some of them dragged into cop cars
unhinged and kicking and screaming
after arrests for their drunken driving.
The word ladylike may be out of fashion.
It may be because more women
are not acting ladylike nowadays,
like all the female teachers arrested
and jailed for molesting students,
almost every week in the news.
like all the women using foul language,
even women in political positions,
like the two women who bragged about
how many men they slept with in a day
for more subscribers on OnlyFans.
The saving grace is many women still
act like ladies with class and dignity.
Some things stay consistent despite
changing times and increasing decadence.

pretty women temporary
like days and nights
like changing seasons
young one day
old the next
pretty gone like
changing seasons
like everything else
nothing lasts
one day pretty
on another day
pretty a skeleton
buried in the ground
