Pause in the mirror
Stare into the heart attack waiting to happen
Smack flab lost in the caramel center
Drunken slurs slosh and slip from innards thrown outwards
This is my body.
Chipped nail polish on short nails
That aren’t even bitten off evenly
Fingers with sparse hairs on them,
That sometimes there and sometimes aren’t
