Smudge

Somewhere between
One and two
A fear of measurements,
horrific sense of scale
forces my testicles to
tighten and burrow deep
into my stomach's pit

The blank, black and
white expression
More like a glare
uncomfortable stare
Dabbled in red

Drain it out, by staring
backs, fronts, insides
distracting secret parts
fade into a man
Monochromatic smudged reminder:
Everything is beautiful
until you get to know them
