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.
