peel.

All the world to gain.

Oh Judy
Old and beautiful
In those shoes
Fire red like
Ketchup
Tabasco
Coca-Cola
You stand boldly
Seize the day
But as you do
! ! ! CRASH  ! ! !
Look what you’ve done
Your purse is clumsy
Knocked the creamer
Onto the floor
But you don’t cry
Over spilled milk
Instead
You clean
With a little help
From your friends
And a handkerchief
Tucked in your pocket
For a rainy day
Or this one
And as you make your way
Out the door
A voice from within warns
“Be careful out there”
And smiles
A comforting way
To start the day
