This
affable body
This malleable body
This, this infallible body
I’ve beleaguered it for so long
Pulled at its hair and gnashed at its teeth
trying, so desperately, to belong
This
practical body
This laughable body
This, this intractable body
Would you believe that it knew all along?
That it harbored the answers
to all of life’s questions
that it would, in fact, carry on
