By myself
I buy myself

Purchase a head
with eyes
and brain
and headaches, too
(I like the pain
it’s one thing I can truly own
one thing I can bear alone)

A body, too
those extra pounds
fatty mounds sag
to the ground:
the stretchy tits
the damaged knees
the thighs made up
of cottage cheese

These I buy, despite the cost
I take the gains
ignore the loss
forget the pain
I like the way
i finally have the right to say:

You have no control of me
I am private property
Feel free to stand beside the gate
For I’m content to let you wait
away from me
all day and night
Trespassers are shot on sight
