Marilyn had two rings,

both outgrew her index finger.

Pop Pop has two as well,

the most important is exiled beneath the knuckle on his left pinky.

Marmar has countless,

but she only wears the costume, CZ ones.
big and bold like her hair used to be
but often the rhinestones fall out of their settings.

I tried to give it back, tell her it was too much

"but everyone gets two"
we both got ours too soon--

18 and 75
