easy on

i remember trying to get
that ring
off of my finger
using butter, and olive oil.
running my hand
under cold water.
i tugged and pulled
at that fat silver
metal, i yanked.
banged it against
the counter. it wouldn't
budge.
pliers didn't help.
i did pilates with my fingers
trying to unfatten them.
for the life of me 
i couldn't get it to slide
off and be done with it.
and it was so easy
slipping it on.
