GRANDÉ

POEM

 

 

 

GRANDÉ

 

Underarms flapping in a winter breeze

gut gently touching my knees

soft tits sagging and swaying at will

nostrils that flair when I sneeze

Waves of chin menace my oversized neck

rings of fat flooding my waist

weary thighs feeling the weight of the world

battered abused and displaced

Feet that are flattened and callous enshroud

toes decorated with corns

thin little ankles and skinny straight legs

tormented, weighed down and timeworn

Sales reps laughing in tiny back rooms

a public who's all but discrete

extension belts offered whenever I fly

paying for more than one seat

Existing void lovers, living void pride

ostracized, friendless, ignored

crying myself to sleep every night

living a life that's abhorred.

Refusing to die refusing to live

this fatness is all I've attained

in a world of diminutive scrawny petites

my size has me shackled and chained.
