Ha! Ha! Ha!
Listen!
Can you hear people laughing?
Is it from the past?
When you were on top
Of the world.

Most beautiful
Of God's creations
Men at your feet
At your bekoning call
At A snap, of your fingers
Even killed
For your alleged honor.

I once remember you
As a Goddess
When I was a youth
About seventeen.

Waited outside your house
God no!
I was no stalker
Just wanted you, to sign a picture
From your latest released film.

I remember that day
So clear
I have cherished it
So deadly dear.

I approached you, with pen in hand
You placed the palm, of your hand
Over my face
Pushing me aside, like a piece of dung
Now look, who's out of place.

Ha,! Ha,! Ha,!
Remember?
Well, who's laughing now?
Look at you
All that's left of you
Is that stretched out
Shinny mask, you call a face.

From all the nibs, tugs pulls,
And surgeries here and there
You look like a clown
Without a crowd and no one to stare.

Half your body
inside a garbage can
looking for nourishment
Supplement.

Carrying your worldly
Possessions
In two shopping bags
Stretched out stckings
down to your ankles.

Brown stains streaks
Down your legs
From dysentery infections
From God knows what.?

Ha,! Ha,! Ha,!
Listen!
Do you hear,
The laughter?

As we women age, we do get wrinkles, put on weight and lose our youthly beauty, but the inner beauty if always still there.
