I Know I'm Fat And I Know

Public And Employer Opinion Often Defeat Society's Best Interests With A Prejudice Against Middle-aged Women.

I Could Not Separate Myself Off Stage From Myself On Stage, As So Many Actors Can.

I Could See Myself In A White Nurse's Uniform, Working Unnoticed For Many Years And At Last Dying, Unknown, Unmarried And Unsung.
