Elsie at 73

Here she is, folks. This is Elsie.

This is her body, her breasts,

her arms open wide, and ready to give you the world's

most magnificent hug.

Her hug is a big hug.

She does not apologize

for the space it takes up.

There's a lifetime of love

saved up in her, in her body.

Her hug can lift you and shake you

and take you all the way

to a moment of paradise,

to a place where the world

is made out of safety and love.

You may be afraid to go there,

and Elsie can understand why.

She's known her own devastation,

but her arms open wide just the same.

This is Elsie, folks. Who wants a hug?
