Rubens Had It Right

Believe me, I appreciate

your appreciation of my lil-

bit-extra-round-the-middle

As if ads are to be believed

scourge of tough belly fat =

perceived horror of womanhood

Bah! Like the three Graces

let’s circle round & celebrate

the full weight we’ve earned

Forget ever having learned

to berate ourselves & carry

our bad selves on already

Hate don’t look good on nobody
