Monitoring/Moderation

I get bloodwork done

Every three months, I have

More doctors than I do

Friends, and I often wish

I could shoot anyone

Who skips their appointments

Cheats on their diet

Or fakes a healthy life

For instagram, all while

Taking full credit

For everything good that they are

Except for the bad parts.

Why is it that

Fat bodies absorb

Thin vices like a fucking

Magnet? What is it about

Your contempt that you are so

Unable to practice

Moderation…?

For the record–

I write poems instead of snacking–

Instead of spine-cracking–

Shitting on my haters

Helps keep me from noticing

My stomach rattling.
