and women too who live
by their wits,
media hounds,
television
gurus.
politicians
paper tigers writing
op-eds,
in silk suits,
reporting on the news.
editorials
and weather.
few have
actually worked at
anything.
driven a nail,
or mopped a floor,
climbed upon a roof
to repair a shingle.
their hands are as soft
as silk,
their skin
like butter.
they hardly age it seems.
the make up
artist
makes sure of that.
