Balcony, Row D, Seat 4

Most women choose
wisely their seats
in this life

Often mummified
in hormonal gauze -
Fogged with their burdens
of emotion and heart -
alas, their strengths.

They wander with aim -
some bravely, with their sisters.
Others charge ahead ugly -
later miserable with the lonely
chair they’ve chosen.

In the end, it is their
walk to walk – no fault
but their own that they
lazily dropped their
eyelids when
making the
journey.
