my profile
edited for vanity
(and medical reasons)
No longer the hooked nose
bequathed by my father
now shortened, lifted,
the badly healed break
(momentos of jiu-jitsu)
cleaned, straightened,
the dorsal ridge
chipped off with hammer and chisel
and the cartilege replaced
with ground up mash
of my own extracted bone.
Still ugly as shit
but my nose is pretty.
