Heckle the Hecklers
Often I wonder
“What would happen
If I was as mean
To fatphobes
As fatphobes are to me?”
What if I took
My nutritionist hostage
And gaslit him about
Everything he ate?
What if I gave my
Two cents on
Every little thing
My mean thin friends eat?
What if I decided
To confront these people
Point blank, they way
They talk to me?
What if I laughed
Each time you said
You were trying to do something
For you and your health?
What if I mocked
All your efforts
Each day that you say
A word about them…?
What if I trolled you all
The way you troll me…?
You’d call the fucking cops–
That’s what. You’d cry,
You’d hide– you’d commit
Suicide.
If I treated people
The way they treated me
They’d be angrier than
I’ve ever let show, they’d be
Madder than mad about it
Ever published.
If the tables were turned
On the hecklers
You’d all finally
Shut the fuck up–
And go away.
