When a Diet Does a Fat Lot of Good

not surprisingly perhaps,
she just knew
it would be a good day
when she eventually
stopped asking herself
whether or not
it mattered that much,
if the all too
familiar thread veins
and weight
gain she had packed on
during winter ..
which was perhaps not
surprisingly,
a poor excuse, could not
somehow be
halted, sucked away and
worked off ..
or at least, spread around
a little bit then
redistributed and shed ..
