you should have that looked at

as we get
older
we look for things on our
bodies.
new things
on our skin.
we laid out for so
many years
in the boiling sun
with oils and a
reflecting tin.
a lump, a bump, a mole,
something
that wasn't there yesterday.
is it black
or red, brown?
is it growing?
does it itch?
we are Sherlock Holmes
now
going on the internet
to research
the possible end 
of our lives.
