“I'm a year older than 365 days ago, and I'm having trouble bending my knees and my lower back is killing me. Everything reminds me of death. Especially bending over all day to steal the flowers off all the graves in the cemetery.”
“It's in the click of my heels,The bend of my hair,the palm of my hand,The need of my care,'Cause I'm a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me. ”
“On Decoration Day, while everyone else in town was at the cemetery decorating the graves of our Glorious War Dead, Willie Beaner and me, Robert Burns Hewitt, took Mabel Cramm's bloomers and run them up the flagpole in front of the town hall. That was the beginning of all my troubles.”
“But the bending of my knees belongs to my lord”
“I'm so ready you could drive a truck straight up my ass and I would bend over and push back until it was in to the rear bumper.”
“I'm a leaf / Look at me on my branch / A terrible storm / Came and knocked me off / The day you see me fall / Is not the day I die”
