Judith Viorst: College Reunion

We've all turned into women with a matching set of luggage
    and a butcher for our special cuts of meat,
And trouble getting to sleep if our room is too stuffy, too cold,
    or not quiet enough, or the pillow is hard, or our sheet isn't
Tightly tucked in at the bottom.

And we've all turned into women with a standing hair appointment
    and an air-conditioned car and name-brand bag,
And some drop-out Buddhist bisexual vegetarian Maoist children to
Aggravate us.

And we've all turned into women who know genuine in jewelry and
    authentic in antiques and real in fur,
And the best in orthopedists for our frequently recurring
Lower back pain.

And we've all turned into women who take cabs instead of buses
    and watch color, not the black and white, TV,
And have lawyers, gynecologists, accountants, dermatologists,
    podiatrists, urologists, internists, cardiologists,
    insurance agents, travel agents, brokers, ophthalmologists,
And no idea how we all turned into these women.
