I've been told my fat body was sculpted
from mud so I had to believe that it magically
would become a dainty flower if I just
followed the right diet
took the right pill
drank the right tea
never understanding that I was
a lotus flower
not trusting in its own unfolding
and the murky waters was society
pressing its opinions on me
