she wants to be a size four,
she's watching
her calorie intake,
and going to the gym
five days a week.
when i was in high school
i was a size two, she says.
ah, don't worry about it,
i tell her, and offer her
a donut, which, she takes,
and says, maybe a small
bite.
marilyn monroe was a
size 8, i tell her.
no one ever told her to lose
any weight.
i've known a size zero, i
tell her.
and it's like dating a surfboard.
we're talking two fried
eggs on top,
and no curves whatsoever.
i always feel better after
talking to you, she tells me.
pfffft.
no charge.
go on, have another bite.
it's a crueler.
light as air.
