Remember that
From far away
Acne looks like freckles
And grossly feminine hips
Are just curves
Remember that
To strangers you are nothing
But your looks are everything
And hair is just hair
And twins are just sisters
Remember how
When you were six
The names of different trucks
And dinosaurs
Seemed so very important
Remember how
When you were sixteen
The names you gave yourself
And others
Seemed so very important
Remember
When you are sixty
That to someone else acne
Is no different than freckles
And your name is so very important

Remember that
From far away
Acne looks like freckles
And grossly feminine hips
Are just curves
Remember that
To strangers you are nothing
But your looks are everything
And hair is just hair
And twins are just sisters
Remember how
When you were six
The names of different trucks
And dinosaurs
Seemed so very important
Remember how
When you were sixteen
The names you gave yourself
And others
Seemed so very important
Remember
When you are sixty
That to someone else acne
Is no different than freckles
And your name is so very important
