I wish one of these wrinkles would crease deep enough
All the way, into my brain.
Doesn't matter which one
Or how it came
Whether from
-having to do hard things
-sleepless nights with babies
-laughing at Sam's jokes
-squinting in the blaring sunshine
All of which happened.
Anyone of those things would make me wiser, better.
A grown woman inside.
My experience is marking my face
But
I wish it would sink in.
Just a little deeper.
Because though I'm starting to look older
I feel more
callow
juvenile
dumber than ever.
Can someone tell me
What is that all about?
