catching a large white fish

i remember
when
she pulled up her
cotton
shirt,
and grabbed the flabby
tire around
her stomach,
a white fish
caught between two
hands.
look at me, she said.
how did this happen?
she was incredulous.
i tell her wine,
Oreos,
Ledo pizza
and potato chips mostly,
and the peanut
butter and banana
sandwich you
eat before bed.
