In a moment of
unplanned voyeurism
like walking into a bathroom
unlocked and occupied

the exposed often seems
a parody
of the clothed self.

It’s funny
how the stripes
on your shirt
indicate the inexact
shape of your
*******.

They prescribe it
for anxiety and
morning sadness.

It sets you in
a sort of halo,
but leaves the
pebble in your heart.

Lately,
he's been
very good
about losing
his parts.

It's been at least a
month since we've
had to piece him
back together.

A framed certificate
hangs on the wall.

Never touched,
it never falls.
