Carpal Tunnel

It starts like this:



You surpass the age

The essence of your beauty isn't driven by candlelight

That thought had been

A constant grain

In my shell since I was a young girl



Keep me from aging



I swell, I ach

I'm expected to bake

The fact that I will not be able

To hear what you're saying to me

Is about as comforting

As a fat lifeguard



Keep me from aging

Save me from aging



Save me from...

Arthritic joints, failing lungs, varicose veins

Excessive weight gain



Keep me from aging

Save me from aging



It ends like this.
