grandmothers hands

the back of my hands are spotted with brownish red splotches and dashes they are as wrinkly as a Chinese dog blue veins are popping up in ugliness so this is why old women wear gloves! the same reason they wear scarves around their turkey necks I was never prepared to get this old did not realize it was a possibility until I began wearing my grandmother’s hands
