The Penis Shrinks as We Age

A poem

Found my first gray pube
while trying and failing
to make myself appear larger:

you see, the penis shrinks
as we age, a fact that most folks
don’t seem to discuss,

probably out of embarrassment.
I almost now look, like a prepubescent,
so small, thin, and terribly insecure,

one thing I know is certainly confirmed:
men never deserved
to hold dominion over this world.
