yesterday when i hadn’t eaten yet
i looked pretty good in the mirror
doing that thing that’s embarrassing
but we all do when we get out of the shower
&
i thought yeah this is ok
not as good as maybe two years ago
but ok i guess as close to ok as whatever
&
tonight i did that thing again
but i think i have tipped the scales
with just one too many burritos
&
i feel and look bloated
i feel like fuck i don’t know
i feel like never letting you see me naked again
i feel like maybe never letting myself either
i feel like eating a gigantic fat person
&
letting them live inside of me
maybe look out of my eyes or
ask me to feed them again
i will shovel shit into myself to feed it
a gigantic fat tapeworm eating my carbs
watching me type like an anorexic on livejournal
using ampersands
