Washed out
dirty blonde
woman
once pretty
now on
the downside
of worn out
average on
a good day
in supermarket
with just-reached-
puberty daughter
Mom’s well worn
t-shirt says:
“4 out of 5 doctors
recommend oral sex”
a leering face
with flapping
tongue embossed
beneath the phrase
I have to wonder
what does the daughter
think about being
in public with a mom
who wears a t-shirt
like that?
trying to be invisible
and failing
eyes down on her
phone to her BFF
Who will she be
in 10 years?
20?
