were born that way
they do not need to be punished more than they do to them
selves
they cannot shake what their mama never gave
do they take up space too much with their bones and wild grins?
no, they have to use their eyes for fullness until there’s a pool of tears swelling everything
when they swallow, you can see what they’re eating
they cannot hide what they consume, no lies only truths
no, slender girls are in your face, flicking rings off their fingers all over the place
