the enhancement

her sister,
thin
and small, petite
would be the word
most dress makers would
use,
decides
to enhance her profile.
it's a simple
procedure
she declares
at the dinner table,
i'm tired
of not getting stares,
especially now
at this age,
approaching
fifty years. hardly
a stitch
can be found, she says,
they look and feel
as natural
as can be.
no one says a word.
although
everyone to themselves,
thinks,
how big,
as they pass
the string beans around.
