Just when you think it's safe to go into the water......the shark appears.
You become familiar with your body.
You have learned how to get to where you need to be alone or together.
You appreciate the finer things of sex.
Of course things are different from when you were 20....things sag, things are bumpy, lumpy and dumpy.
But GOD!!! You know how to do it now!!!And then, SLAM!!! Mother Nature hits you with a lightning bolt right in the stomach.
You hurt more often.
Your organs begin to malfunction.
You're sweating in bed at night and it isn't because "Manuel" visited you and gave you the "O" of your life.
Body parts start looking abnormal and it isn't just the stretch marks of time.
You begin to worry about the horrors of diseases, diagnosis, removal of abnormalities.
You put off what you cannot hear.
You ignore what you cannot handle.
And yet, you are still afraid....
Afraid to know?
Afraid to not know?
Lookout, the sharks are circling....
