Weird old women
They're everywhere
They don't just appear out of nowhere, you know
They start out as weird young women
Then they learn
to hide
Only emerging, fully weird, a long time later
When they are old
When no-one can see them anyway, so they don't need to hide any more
They hide themselves
until age hides them in plain sight.
You probably know a few yourself.
