Figures like Us
We are pretenders
We forget our bodies as we worship them
The disconnect
between brain and spinal cord
I am another
woman with slender legs
plain meadowlike stomach
void of hills or mountains
no domes above flat land
He is a man
a face of stubble
an untouched lateral frame
chest carved out of solid rock
yet memberless despite
Every encounter is an out-of-body experience
For the aftermath does not, will not, compute
Figures like us do not deserve to have good sex
That is a job for our alter egos
