Twentysomething
Chris Butler
Coming of age
but going nowhere
after post-pubescence,
when my wrinkled gonads
ripen while they sag,
my hunch is backed.
Thinking I’m wiser,
but I don’t know what
it is to be a man.
I remain a baby,
powdered and pampered
in adult diapers,
without a belly button
classifying my being
as an innie or outie,
because there still is this orange extension chord
feeding me,
intravenously,
externally,
