old age creeps up
slowly over the years
who ever wanted it?
elderly lady
good for nothing any more
just fill the coffin
all friends of granny
have lost their memory
and are crippled
granny sends postcards
to everyone on birthdays
you forget to call
man-made knees
after years of painkillers
what a relief
up and down moods
hormones racing wildly
teenage passion
young and innocent
no responsibilities
house or family
