Poem Body

lips too small and thin
nose too potatoed
ears prompting Spock jokes
eyes too beadily hazed
beard too patchy
hair uncut, sleepishly tossed
teeth way too small and bent
cheek bones too high
chin pointing at you, somehow
eyebrows too low knotted
hairline too scared and running
jowls looking to wrinkle sagged
belly too round, held in forever
feets too big
knees bowed wide and knobby
and a cock
that could play
left tackle for
the steelers

this yellowed grin
that eats shit daily
sings such songs
anonymously

Great Poem man
aging is graceful??
ha
gravity and its profound effect
funny as my gut gets bigger
with age and my underwear
has to be smaller so I dont
sit on anything tender with
my fat ass!!!

great poem...that Bukowsky or whatever
would have loved this!!

Thank You!!
