Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Let the Old Lady Do It

I jump up with glee
let the old lady do it
certainly they mean me

In the school yard
I am the only crone here
happy to play

no retirement
I could not stand being home
bring the body bag

children are cheering
the soccer ball comes my way
it goes to the moon
