This is such a moving poem because it reveals the insensitivities of someone who has no right to put a label on someone else. The same goes for calling someone Skinny. If it is hurtful, it should be left unsaid. There are tons of ways to describe someone without putting an unwelcome label on them. Great poetry for thought Andrew.
