WE LEAVE OUR PRINCESSES

We leave our Princesses

trapped in Their Towers

no matter what F. Scott Fitzgerald said

to His Wife-to-Be

ninety-one years ago

I am still Towered

but not scared – only mad

deciding not to invite

the few friends I have

to see My Castle

on The Sea Shore

with My Husband @ work

while I lie on The Couch
