a Hometown visit

It is so unbelievably true and it is sad, indeed
They’re loosing their beauties I once had witnessed
They put thick powder on their faces to cover the thick worry lines permanently attached to their fake smile
They said OK instead of admitting life is shiteous, ever since
They had long abandoned lipstick and what Sunday service used to be,
Birthday is a reminder how deep they fall

Slimmer,
Thinner,
Lonelier in their rummaged encrypted agony.

I’m talking about my aunt, next door housewives,
Husbands, and even the kids.
