The Comfort of Older Women

The comfort of an older woman

is not just a sensible pair of shoes; it's... 

 

Wearing the most efficient bra;

Two hooks doing all the work.

 

The missing underwire isn’t missed;

You slid it out long ago.

 

The loosening elastic has given comfort
a little too much freedom.

 

There’s room to breathe without under-spillage,

and just enough lift to feel confident.

 

I found my second‑best friend.

My first? A pair of comfortable briefs.
