Elbow

When at times I could barely see you
I could not help but
contemplate in front of the mirror:

I am now nineteen
but it seems like you are older than me,
You age faster than
my father
He is forty-six
but not as wrinkled as you are,
You are more likely to resemble my granny
Whose skin is as finer
as that of a sphinx’s neck
but the lines
are not so roughly etched
but
something’s
hilarious about
your texture-
I noticed it when
my seven year old naked brother
ran before me last night
for a chocolate-
I saw the dangling creature between his legs-
an elastic scrotum
same with that of an elbow.
