Body-speak
April 13, 2015
mutinous thighs
friends at last
conduct hearsay
about my weight
every time they
meet
flapping together
the digits they
scream
1....6....3
to the cute barista
163!
163!
explanations for
the non-fat milk in
my drink
to the guy at
the movies
when he asks
if i want butter
163!
there's no need!
163!
163!
together they shriek
until a canyon forms
between the best
of friends
their voices
fade
into the guilty
whispers
of
83...83...
