Mona was pinning up her hair this morning
and counting every minute of seven years
She looked in the mirror
and saw a face
Which didn't look like it used to
but was still her
The lotion he gave her
eeked its smell up from her hands
The sweet scent of gardenias
Reminded her of George rubbing her back
while she pinned up her hair
seven years ago.
"It Has Been A Lifetime"
she thought
And she went downstairs
To make her son chocolate-chip pancakes
as they are celebrating his birthday.
