Fat girls Who Wear Short Skirts During Winter Quarter (Free verse) by DurtKL

Fat girls wearing short skirts During winter quarter While the hot girls Hibernate in gyms Climbing stairs that go nowhere As the clanking and grunting Of creatine infused juggernauts Grunt and huff away Over weighted bars and disks These fat girls who wear short skirts Lumber towards their classes As the wind blows head on Into sails of fat rippling waves Around their cankles Snow gathers atop the crest of These feminine Kilimanjaros Wide base bodies Against the cold of winter quarter Frosted air escapes lungs as breath Is expelled at the idiocy of these Fat girls who wear skirts during winter quarter.

i somehow have the sense that i've seen this form before. or maybe it's just a bit similar to other forms. in any case the repetition works very well. the topic is a little on the cutesy side, but it's blunt, tight and well-addressed. one may criticize the poem as insensitive to the issues dealt with by the obese, but anyone who can't figure out the point probably needs hooked on phonics.
