how does it feel to be an older woman? my mind is still young, my feelings are still strong, and my body is.. used. aged. scarred, sagging, curved, no longer perky, taut or nubile. i can see an old lady walking along the beach, i used to look at her when i was a kid. and as she gets closer, i can recognise her.... oops - can't be morbid! off to get prodded, plucked, waxed, dyed, pruned, and stuffed into newshoes, newclothes, newskin, newhair.. think I'd rather go down to the beach and put my toes in the water.... o.w.
