Old Man Mic Drop
So I have this friend…
okay, an online acquaintance
beautiful, bright, kind, well spoken...too young
veritable goddess, but no pretense
Whilst perusing her profile I stumble upon
phrases that deep in my heart kinda stung.
Under relationship status I read,
“Owned by” some dude with an animal moniker
like she’s a pet or what’s worse enslaved.
What happened to boyfriend, partner, or lover?
Much more acute was my consternation
after reading her list of preferred degradations.
Have I grown too old to conceive modern love?
Regardless, it’s really none of my business.

Et je t'adore aussi 😘 My smooth, creamy, Neapolitan goddess❣❣ I knew this one might bring out some soap-boxes...slightly incendiary in my eminent vanilla style 🍦💖

Different strokes for different folks as the saying goes lol
each to its own but i'm sure much would be shocking if we actually dug around and just like you the older i get the more i rather not bother with anything beyond my own small private breathing space practicing religiously 'oblivious is a bliss' concept.

Amen to the bliss of oblivion❣❣😏 Thank you so much, Layla, for your constant support and poetic companionship. I judge not other's choices. God knows very well some of the truly bizarre choices I've made.
