SO GODDAMN FUCKING OLD

I want to look so goddamn fucking old,

Just absolutely decrepit. Slack tits,

A mouth like a drawstring purse: fucking goals.

Please, Universe, shrivel me into bliss.

-

Time-gods have kept me inside a bell jar:

My face shows none of the years I have lived,

And so I tend to unsettle false hearts,

Those who seek to open me like a gift.

-

Skies! Tiger-stripe my face with wrinkles, please:

Show the apex predator I’ve become.

I do daily yoga, I move with ease:

I will bend into no dowager’s hump.

-

But my face: oh, sweet heavens, may it age.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.
