Red is for us, among other things, Liz Taylor
Liz broke her back 5 times
had hip surgery once and
a brain tumor removed once
she survived 1 skin cancer
4 pneumonias
3 other infections
got married 8 times
divorced 7 times
and is thinking about a 9th marriage, we read last week
too bad Richard drank himself to death
otherwise I’m sure I would have married him a third time
she never planned
to collect jewelry and men
that’s just the way life goes
I’m fortunate
to have known great loves
for other people, our life is a puppet show
to watch
some people wonder
if it’s a puppet show for us too
I answer yes of course it’s a puppet show for us too
in the back of the theater we watch along
with all of those people who are watching us
