3ww-sing it christina

She skirt flirts with disaster
taking her donuts in even faster
does she care anymore about the hem of her dress
that the muffins have become a part of her anatomy?
no she likes the stunning shine of the glaze upon her lips
like cherry fried chapstick

this body is beautiful
in the arc of light thrown on her by her bedroom windows every morning
no one can see the very ancient goodness
of it
sturdy
fun
and bouncy
no ploy of playing seductive
it IS seductive
one just wants to reach out and grab on

she shakes the memory off her face
she licks the sweet gripping cherry stain off her lips
she returns to her computer
it's just another morning donut
it's just the same old place
it's just the same old time

she'll balance it out with a salad for lunch.

  1. Ande, you crack me up! I was loving it, thought it was empowering, until you got to the salad. Then I just had to laugh.

  2. I had to read the first couple of lines very slow, and I thought that maybe in the second line the word "in" would be better after taking. But I read it again and like where you put it.

    But he message - what a treat. Funny stuff.

  3. Cleverly worded - an entire mindset in a few well written lines.

  4. Cool! Why go on a diet when you can buy the next size dress?
