Galapagos island

as your
body ages, it changes.
things
appear out of nowhere.
bumps
and lumps, small
things,
growths
on your ears,
your face.
there's a strange thing
growing
on your leg.
what's with
the nails,
the crusty elbows,
your
thinning hair.
you're crusting over
like some sunbaked turtle
on an island,
going nowhere.
