who needs them

i hear them talking
around
the table.
i'm in earshot,
eavesdropping on
their conversation.
five women
in their fifties, a few
older.
healthy and attractive
women
surrounded by shopping bags.
the topic is men.
how for the most part
they are done with men.
done with dating,
done with sex.
done with the drama
of love.
carefully, i get up and
walk away.
somewhat saddened,
but understanding
where they're coming
from.
