gravy
by Angela Thomasof course, i'm glad you called. it's thanksgiving
and i made sure to eat an extra bowl of stuffing
and gravy after the first time we spoke. because
that way, i would be too fat for you to come over
and see. or want. or something. it made sense
to me at least. i miss talking to you so much
but somehow i feel like this is the best option
that we have right now. and i'm really proud
of myself for saying no. for putting my foot
down and as much as it hurts and feels like standing
on hot concrete in the parking lot, mid-summer
at noon, in your swimsuit trying to get the sand
off your shins, as much as you want to keep
that feeling forever, it's fleeting. it's fast. it's fading. 11/27/2009 Posted on 11/27/2009
