World-weary woman grown tired of the ways
No longer seeks to distract herself
From the truth of the world around her
Sits in her favorite chair without longing for the days
Displayed in the faded photos on the shelf
Doesn't waste time wishing for life as it were
Twirls strands of hair marveling at the grays
Counts them all as if calculating her wealth
Makes her feel like a millionaire
