The Way The Trends Go

I am not interested in feel-good fat perspective

I am not interested in feel-good queer perspective

I am not interested in

Oversimplified nonsense.

The truth is always more complicated

Than it originally seemed, and

I am not interested

In body positivity—

I am interested in the reeducation

Of our society

That being fat

Is more of a symptom of trauma

Than it is a symptom of

Overeating.

I want people to know what

Cushing’s syndrome is, while also

Avoiding some sort of self-diagnosis pandemic.

I want the world to know

That all of the intervention

Adds pounds— what we should be focusing on

Instead, is healing

And how to have a society

With less social stress

Than yesterday, not

More and more —

The way the trends go
