bari ammi isnot
wearing her teeth.

she lisps, her mouth
puckers.
nursing the sour taste of
being old

bari ammi isnot
wearing her teeth

she sounds like an
old woman. i don’t
like this alien grandmother

her hair is too white, all
of a sudden, like
her diamonds on hands
loose and wrinkled

her eyes are too wide, tired
at the corners. bari
ammi isnot wearing her
teeth

and she is old,

suddenly.

Mina at 7:33 PM
