it's all vanity

is it harder
for men, or for women
to deal
with this deterioration of the body,
the aging
process,
relentless as we're
reminded each day
with a new
stretch of skin,
loose
and crepe an added
wrinkle to the brow,
below the chin.
the shortened length
of us,
the weight
dispersed where it's never
been.
is
there a difference
in vanity
between us.
at times i think there is.
neither sex
wanting to give in.
