The Song that Tina Sang

Thirty-nine steps up the winding stairwell
39 steps in the sham marriage I entered

in which I forsook
one who truly loved me.

To marry, instead, an octogenarian ---
if that's what you call a guy way over 80

who insists I breast feed him, periodically
in the hope it will restore his vigor.

Call me a whore
Call me a gold digger

What is more accurate?
A girl has to think of her future.
