everybody
is the sum of their parts
and some of us dream and dabble
our various parts
nip and tuck,
Botox and Ozempic
refresh, redress,
the obvious errors made
by a God-in-a-hurry,
***** got 8 billion of us
that need care ‘n feeding,
loving and breathing
I know, I know,
this is a simplistic
my poetic tomfoolery,
What? My fav part?
the one on my head,
that separates east & west
an old familiar friend,
not very chic, but comforting
keeps me grounded,
for when I look at me
in my kindergarten
class pictures with
no front teeth, but my best
part,
still extant!
I am true to myself,
which is the most
important
part of truth
