Fluffier Now
I used to diet.
Wrote down every crumb I put into my mouth.
Drank twelve glasses of water a day.
Wrote them down too.
Exercised an hour a day at Curves.
Got buff.
Found muscles I did not know I had.
Looked like a coach in my legs.
Barely remember any of that now.
As I reach for my chips and dip
after sucking down three Hershey bars
and drinking two liters of cream soda.
Happier now
fluffier too
