thought i'd share with a few souls that
I am feeling skinner and not only
feeling so, but actually am -
a mere 128 pounds of solitude and
counting down the seconds until
my way-too-large pants fall down.

and I'm going shopping
at my favorite store because normally
I'm just not in the mood, but the mood struck me today.

but first
I should grab a belt.

And I realize that I
own
none.
