Farewell to Fat

Farewell to Fat


four grapes before bed or buy little beans from El Salvador.
but people don't believe that's why I'm

here. I might as well be gay
not just because I love rhinestones and Barbara Streisand.

I'm a sensitive person who is supportive of gay people
the same way I'm sensitive to grossly obese people and ugly people.

one day I may be meeting you and hearing how you've changed
your life by saying, ‘oh, sister.’

It's an eerie thing my childhood being washed
away. country people only want dirt.
