self-portrait on SSRIs

today i am okay with the breadth and slope
of my torso. in fact, part of me wants to strip down

buck nude and loop strings of christmas
lights around my limbs.

each shoulder a beacon, i'll stand
at the window, turn a lackadaisy

rotation. throat hollows glinting gossamer sugar,
some newfangled confection.

today i really did wrap christmas lights around a bare torso in front of (well, near) a window.

am i allowed to say that in public? i relate to this.
