Look Where She Points

A real woman has lived –
showing off
my experience in bed with
my stretchmarks and
I don't mind

celebrating sex with passion
and joy and not afraid to
disrobe to feed my child and love this
I don't mind

having
rough hands that have
diapered two bottoms and nicely done
I don’t mind

sharing my
laughter with crows feet and by this point i don't mind something that feels abstract because i like the poem. although i really can't say how one shares a laugh with crows feet. 
I earned love the sudden switch which makes me want to keep going

every single silver hair and
I don't care to shave because
it's winter here nine months a year love the sudden rhyming because it's increasing momentum, while making a clear point

Look at me, little ones – are little ones like young people, like early teens? that's what i would imagine.
with your new technology and
leggings for pants – leggings for pants. i am seeing those skin-tight stretchy pants? the new generation wearing them with their iPhones and stuff?
a real woman
is me – so see me –  clearly and simply ending on point
I don't mind
The confidence, candor, and imagery, simplicity, all make this a great poem. I like your style. I don't care about missing punctuation because it flows and it doesn't really need anything else. I like the "I don't mind" throughout, and the way stanzas are spaced.

If I were to find some area for expansion, you might even hammer one more impacting stanza at or before the end. A few more lines wouldn't hurt and you could give us one more good picture. That's not something that's absent - it's just an idea to create more force.

I don't understand how the title relates unless she is pointing at herself. But I don't care for that idea. 

Enjoyable read.
