Do My Shoulders Look Fat in This?

We are all living in what seems to be the height of the self conscious, body conscious, skeletal, starving, obese, depressed, eating disorder Era!

We’ve ordered it.

Cooked it. Left it on the plate.

Thrown it in the trash.

Fed it to the dog or thrown it up…..

Then we Plump it. Prod it. Pluck it.

Suck it in.

Get it sucked out.

Slather it. Salve it. Balm it.

Make it up. Wash it off. Make it up again.

Exfoliate it. Laser it. Wrap it in seaweed.

Smoke it out. Get it drunk.

Compulsively exercise it off and watch it drop dead from Exhaustion!

At the end of the day, what’s left to be self-conscious about?

Cushion

its snowing again

the television screen is fuzzy

i sit inside our flat

cross legged on the big green cushion

my back is burning

maybe because i’m leaning against the wall heater

thinking about writing a letter to my mum

it keeps snowing

i keep thinking
