fluctuating weight

i'm not sure which

pair of pants

to put on

today,

as i pinch the skin

around my waist.

i lay them all out on the bed.

my skinny jeans,

my regular,

my athletic jeans, whatever

that means

or the relaxed pair

that i swim in

like a clown

in a parade.

i have them in all sizes

and colors.

i've got every

fluctuation of weight

covered.
