From the song cycle Snow White Turns Sixty.

lyrics

SNOW WHITE TURNS SIXTY

and doesn’t care any
more about what the neighbors
think. The prince just
sits there, in his recliner,
flicking channels, popping
brewskis. Belches. He got downsized
last year from The Royal
Kingdom. Too young
for social security; too old
for another career. She just
doesn’t care. They haven’t touched
in years. The kids are grown,
the house runs itself, and who wants
to go to another ball or support
another charity? She’s into:
yoga, organic gardening, book club.
She’s highlighting her hair, lifting
weights, feels better about her body
than she has in years. She sees
the future roll out ahead, a road
through the woods in autumn, yellow
leaves scattered on the ground. There
might be a snug little cottage, just for one.
Maybe a cat curled by the chimney, soft
as smoke. And a kettle on for tea.
Pull up a chair and listen. You won’t
believe her story.

—Barbara Crooker
