Ample Pie
Fattitude Problem
by Grace Nichols
I
If my fat
was too much for me
I would have told you
I would have lost a stone
or two
I would have gone jogging
even when it was fogging
I would have weighed in
sitting the bathroom scale
with my tail tucked in
I would have dieted
more care than a diabetic
But as it is
Im feeling fine
feel no need
to change my lines
when I move Im target light
Come up and see me sometime
II
Come up and see me sometime
Come up and see me sometime
My breasts are huge exciting
amnions of watermelon
your hands cant cup
my thighs are twin seals
fat as slick pups
theres a purple cherry
below the blues
of my black seabelly
theres a mole that gets a ride
each time I shift the heritage
of my behind
Come up and see me sometime
