My aging body is new to me. How like prisons
Are the body templates women must match, built
On fantasies of a male hive mind, cultivated by
Women who slip under the door, themselves matched to the
Template and spending money for makeup, clothes, procedures, needs
Not self-created. What template forces my aging body, that
Material container, to fit an imaginary dream? Whose rule
Says sagging, wrinkles, unsteadiness, randomness is not us.
