Gray by Alice Walker

I have a friendwho is turning gray,
not just her hair,and I do not know
why this is so.
Is it a lack of vitamin Epantothenic acid, or B-12?
Or is it from being frantic
and alone?
'How long does it take you to love someone?'I ask her.
'A hot second,' she replies.
'And how long do you love them?
''Oh, anywhere up to several months.
''And how long does it take youto get over loving them?
''Three weeks,' she said, 'tops.'
Did I mention I am also
turning gray?
It is because I *adore* this woman
who thinks of love in this way.
