The young ladies
who took my order
at the taco shop
had a good laugh
after they complimented
my pretty nails
and I shared with them
that I’m gonna get
my pretty nails
removed soon
for the sake of my girlfriend.
They then both
showed me their pretty nails
and said
they’re in between girlfriends
right now.
Wink, wink.
And I said
“Apparently we cannot
be trusted to be gentle”.
They burst out laughing.
I like connecting
with the young lesbians of today.
They’re much more accepting
of me
as a woman and a lesbian
than many of the
maintain perfect appearances
millennial lesbians
or the bigoted
baby boomer lesbians.

Well wait for it, in time they’ll grow up and end up less accepting and just as bitter and jaded as the rest of the ladies. 😉 (I’m not sure if I’m kidding…So you don’t have to be!)

I don’t think becoming jaded as we age is unique to women. I think many humans have a tendency to do this. Understandably, life incurs more pain and attachment the further in time we live… But I think one of the great tricks or achievements to life is actually doing the opposite and becoming softer, kinder, playful, and more forgiving as we age.

I dunno, I think I was kind when I was young. I was naturally kind. Now? I’m scary. But I’m comfortable with it.
I’m gad the youngsters made you feel some warm fuzzy in the world, tho. That’s a good day.
Peace sweet lady.
