Performance Poem by Dorsey Baker

If the strong man
you now know
should become weak
and wheelchair bound
would you still
want him around
if his body
could no longer
perform for you
if your body
was still strong and
able to perform
and his became weak
and unable to perform
would you still
love him as much
if his body
no longer
had the power to perform
for you
or would you leave
him sad and lonely
and go with another
strong
ready and willing
their body to perform
for you?
