Gold Lipstick and the End of Summer

Who knows what old ladies are?
They want their copies back
Some cannot recall past lives
This must be satisfying
I must be lazy
I can barely grow old
I am hiding in the bottom drawer
All my girls are there

Aloha girls
Road-stained warrior trucking girls
Ski holiday village girls
Girls with forks of fat
Saintly girls on rosary hum
Disco marigolds
Gingerbread goodie-goodies
Little punk rabbits.
