LA CURANDERA

A curandera and her daughter 
visited me yesterday. 
They gave me a spiritual cleaning, 
una limpieza in Spanish. 
Afterwards, they gave me a massage. 
The mother was like a surgeon 
with her daughter acting as head nurse. 
The latter would hand her mother various lotions 
as they prayed together in order to extract 
the demons inhabiting me. 
They determined I was the victim of envy. 
Who would be envious of me? 
Though my health is decent 
and my finances are adequate, 
I'll be 74 this year. 
A lady commented to a friend 
that I was looking old. 
Fuck you, bitch! I am old,  
but if you want to know the truth, cunt, 
you ain't lookin so good yourself.
