skinny minny

she says does it
bother you that i only
weigh eighty-four
pounds, and i say no.
not at all, i admire
someone who watches
their weight and
tries to stay in
shape. in fact,
it makes your eyes
look bigger, more
expressive. you have
very lovely bones,
but i sort of look
like a boy with my
shirt off, she says.
and i say, well, so do
i, so in some crazy
way, we break even
on that point. i bet
you're a great body
surfer, here,
hold my hand and have
a bite of my sandwich,
the wind is picking up.
