the etiology of senescence

Judy
bit into her
first ladyfinger and
turned gray as the crumbs dissolved on
her tongue

Judy
technicolored
her ash hair unaware
that the dye would stain her skin
with creases

Judy
saturated
her face with lotions meant
to iron out the wrinkles and
went blind

Judy
fixed her eyes with
laser beams not knowing
that laser radiation rusts
muscles

Judy
bit into her
last ladyfinger and
turned cold as the crumbs dissolved on
her tongue
