#25 - Beyond

Laurence Michael Dillon (1915 -1962) was a British physician and the first trans man to undergo phalloplasty. 

Right. “Where the mind cannot be made to fit,

the body should be made to fit the mind.”

Now that’s a quote (abridged, as I’m confined

by metric form) that made me think a bit.

For, as an aging man with budding tits,

expanding gut, to walking sticks resigned,

my brain is asking to be reassigned –

a body closer to a young Brad Pitt’s.

So kids – take care. I’ll close this month of rhyme

(it’s been a blast as always – Hello Fay!)

by thanking you, dear readers, for your time,

and leave myself just two more lines to say:

be thankful for each day of health you’ve had,

and don’t forget to exercise a tad.
