Menopausal Crazy

By Marie Delgado Travis

Look at me!
Look at me!
For pity’s sake,
put down that
newspaper
and gaze into
these lifeless eyes!
Listen to me!
Share my dreams.

Don't stare at me in a video
ten years from now and gasp:
My God!
You were so pretty
and skinny then!
What happened
to the girl I married?

Then trade me in
for a new edition.
