Feminization for Adoration


Yes. Of course I've reflected upon this
Who would have overlooked it?
Metamorphosis must be taken in haste
Contemplating, name-changing, eye-lifting,
Beautification
You have to be attractive to obtain
Exuberance. No red-blooded man could ever
Adore me as adequate, as myself. No. I'll chisel a neoteric sculpture
I'll edit and revise my contour until I find swain
Who says I'm Junoesque the way I am
Until someone loves me or what's
Left of me. What has become
Of this cannot be rewound. Never. Have. I. Considered.
Subsiding.
Unless you count last Tuesday or Wednesday
But it's better to succumb rather than
Knowing how much I've lost
Just being myself
