my eyelids have new folds
they r drooping
i am almost 50
i never expected to live this long

i did an episode of a new lifetime series
DROP DEAD DIVA
it starts airing in july
i love this show

BROOKE ELLIOT stars
a beautiful talented young actress
i met six years ago
when she first arrived in NYC

the show shoots in atlanta
in a huge new sound stage
like old time movie stars used
show business can be dreamy


i love the hair and make up trailer most
 always a cozy cocoon
full of open hearted women - just like u
laughs and love abound

my stand in - a young kid - 19
her mom died too
on long island - of cancer
life

u keep meeting urself
over and over
as u go along
around and back

i am the mother of a teen
pat is gone but her grandson is here
safely sleeping in the home
she welcomed me into

the maravel arts center is open
now we work to keep it that way
returning to the core
the origin

life happens under an umbrella
watching the game with r own kind
authentic calm present
same same same
