Reality Barbie
she came to me in tears
penetrated
by molesting looks and
stairs
her breath misted
the mirror
she obsessed over
weight was always felt
upon her heavy hardened brow
she stretched her arms
around
me and wept
vomiting her soul
and burning the calories
of sorrow
away
my comfort was obese
and mocking
as I trembled under
her gargantuan
blubbering
and
my heart
began
to fall
why must we conquer
this fanatic feat
up treadmills
and through
shopping malls
sliding between
large and insignificant
to rock on our backs
to crunch out
the pain of childish
teasing
and social
imagination
