How much is too much?
This girl with thicknesses and size,
a dimension evaporating,
a reality emaciated.....

With this slice of bread I say
'deny, deny, deny'
Count the meanings, counting calories,
metephorical
and
nutritionless.
With this I say
'here is my worth, here is my weight'
on a scale that does not measure
kindess or
generosity.

How much is too much?
Laughter? on a scale of 1 to 130?
Sadness? on a scale of bones?
The length of a relationship with
a frustrated man?

Dropping...
Pound
by
precious
Pound.
