half a century

i'm not 20 anymore
i'm not even 24

i'm getting right up there
i'm fifty

and my flesh
is less elastic

wrinkles are appearing

do i still turn you on?
can i still make you feel
even though all i have
has been revealed.

you know me now
all of me

am i just boring
a known entity?

please say no
to all these queries.

i have one more
important theory...

you could love me
if you chose,
and we'd have thirty
plus to go,
maybe
want to try?
