Big Ol’ Naked Poem

Screw what the idiots tell you.
Naked looks great
on anyone
at any age.
Don’t be afraid of it.
It’s like smiling
when you’re not from
a country with fine dental care.
You’re admittedly a little crooked
and might even be falling apart,
some things aren’t where they are
supposed to be anymore,
but damn,
it feels good
and it’s necessary
from time to time,
even if the only reason for it
is that you’re in the middle
of a change in your
outwardly somber nature.  You’ll
thank me, eventually,
for having suggested this.
It works.  Shed the stuff
that hides you and light up
a big ol’ naked view of yourself
glowing in your twilight.  Someone
will be glad you did, even if
it’s only the two of us.
