same old goofball

it spies a goofball

messy mop of curls

slight grey - sshh

dimpled smile

glasses hiding cute eyes

accenting chubby cheeks

over a healthy curvy body

one with the hint of

abs

above a happy peasant gut

and pasty white nerd skin

unshaven

but sans acne now

with a few tattoos

scattered here or there

(never enough)

and

while I could spin closer

focus on bits of flab

or scars

or poor posture

or a chunky pitbull kinda head

that I wonder how

anyone

could love after all these years

(don't think about it)

instead I just focus on

"Hey - did I remember to put pants on today?"

and then remind myself

eh

beauty's for queens

curves are for comfort

and my smile

lights this mother fucker up
