Tell Me

       I’m waiting for you to tell me something about my body
That I don’t already know.
                                                You know it better than I do.
I’m not waiting for anybody to tell me it’s beautiful,
           I just want to know that it’s not corrupted,
That it hasn’t fallen at the hands of this
                  cruel and senseless world                            yet.
          My back listens to my mind
          and it aches for it.
I know there will be a time when you tell me
      that something has been going awry
                right        under     my      nose.
Just tell me that it isn’t today.
