Very Soon
by Alison McKenzieMy life is slim,
A thin line between realities,
A single puff of smoke in the wind,
Anorexic.
I am not my life.
For one thing,
I am fat.
I am also not my body.
And since I am currently
Not connected to much more than
My life or my body,
I’d like to ask
The Powers that Be
For an upgrade, please;
Some place where I can
Stretch my legs,
Drink some complimentary champagne,
And arrive before the rush.
Things will smooth out, I’m sure
My soul will dance very soon –
Yes, very soon.
