As I look down...

As I look down I see two legs with thighs which are too large and too white touching each other too much too close to the place where they finally meet. 
As I look down I see two knees which are too red and tender to the touch with bruises from things I was too careless to remember. 
As I look down I see two shins which are too pale and curve out too far down into what I fear will become two kankles. 
As I look down I see two feet which used to be pointed like the curve of the moon as it wanes and waxes every two weeks which now twist and twitch impatiently too often touching these stubborn toes to show and to tell. 
As I look down I see too much tummy and too many freckles and too much of my too wide nose and too many scars under one too many bracelets.
