Achieved the dream....


My cheeks have been soggy all day
I keep drying them with the backs of my hand
But they in turn glisten
I wipe them on my thighs

I decided to get in the bath instead…it was easier
And it was devoid of opinion
For this I was thankful for a while
Until it rid me of moisture

Stretched marked and wrinkled in the mirror
Is this me at forty? Imperturbable was the reply
My feet flaked, my eyes inconclusive
But this is what I ordered

My limerence has defected
Not even for my reflection is it chanced
I’ve achieved the dream
At last
