Sitting beside the
Oldest woman alive
Makes me laugh.

I read narrative Holden Caufield,
Bitching about her
goddamn generation
As

She flips through Eve's book--
The Old Mother
Who single-handedly
Doomed and Allowed
Mankind.

Does she judge me,
Staring behind her
Curtain eyes?

Or does she simply sleep,
Reminiscing about her youthful days--
Damning the evidence she has
Since become?
