Fat

It’s like believing in God:
looking down and seeing
those thighs,
those hips,
spreading before you
like a lie,
you’re caught,
inside a trap
you’ve made yourself;
within this fabrication
of flesh and fat
so much vaster
than you can account for,
a message
(insistently inner)
tells you how empty it all is,
how blown up...
