All you can eat (Free verse) by flatliner
I've eaten from the endless self-pity platter it doesn't fill me but it does sustain me, I like how it feels, being sad. I know it's time to leave this buffet, but it's a good value, what a deal, so I'll stay another round. Heaping it high I lean back and feel the weight of self indulgence. There is a price to pay for this, but I don't have a coupon handy. It's last call at the dessert bar, so I sprinkle some miss yous', (I mean cashews) and ask for a to go box. It's a good value, what a deal, but I can't stay another round.

Up the ladder: ny road trip
Down the ladder: Together Forever

You also have a poem called "overweight." Are you fat? I weigh 316 pounds and have to buy two seats when I fly American Airlines. Anyway, I like the title and was excited to read the poem, but was a bit disappointed how you used the extended metaphor. So much for bringing expectations to something.

Your sporadic flirting with obesity makes me hot.

I'm eating pork rinds and doughnuts, glazed with chocolate frosting right now, baby. I will have another two pounds on before dinnertime.
