Surgery Number Six

I am almost a reconstructed woman


I wonder, am I just a chest half-baked?


I hear the clink of surgical tools


I see eyes over masks, the green gowns, the bright light overhead


I want to see the light at the end of the tunnel already


I am almost a reconstructed woman

I pretend I'm a supermodel getting a tune-up, but


I feel far from the physical ideal


I touch a make believe mound I cannot feel


I worry what my hug feels like


I ask myself is this all worth it?


I am almost a reconstructed woman

I understand cosmesis is Latin for optical illusion, but


I believe I am fooling no one, and today why do


I dream of wonderbra symmetry?


I trust in the skill of my doctor's hands, still


I hope he had a hot breakfast

I am almost a reconstructed woman
