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
