turning over a new leaf

she says, i'm turning
over a new leaf. i sigh.
i let out a small,
but audible laugh. again,
i say. yes, she says.
i'm serious about this.
this time i really am
going to change. i'm
going to resculpture
my body, i'm going
to get smarter with
books, with food.
i'm going to meditate.
i will explore and
understand the nature
of who i really am.
moderation in all things,
don't sweat the small
stuff, eat, pray love.
are you in with me,
she says and stands up
with her yoga mat
rolled up under her arm,
care to take this journey
together. no, i tell
her. i'm good, but
have fun. i think we're
out of martini olives
by the way.
