Atrophy…

A certain part of me is wasting away,

Withering it is more than I can say,

Shrinking from view, more and more each day,

Minifying rather than magnifying much to my dismay…

Its use has been greatly cut back,

Obviously I have no one so I do lack,

It used to be at one time such a long and thick snack,

Now I am lucky it does work when it gets its daily whack…

Sometimes it does not even see the light of day,

Under a blanket or in my drawers it is tucked away,

Herein I do try not to relate to you what exactly it is,

Suffice it to say, used it is for when I do stand and take a piss, anyway…

Although you may still think it is something kind of a bit flaccid,

But that may not be the case although yes it can be called limp,

Could be my wrist, when I do stand in the wind and let it wave,

Or my longish hair that flies through the air, god I wish I could it save…

So do not jump to conclusions,

And don’t in your dreams have any illusions,

For this part of me may not have of its own any reality,

I am after all, as you well know, very confused and full of delusions…
