A TikTok model adjusts straps,
Whimsical bag rests against smooth side
Sun struck, sun-loved.
I wonder how little she must eat
To look like that.
But I’m thin,
Eat more than society tells me I should
And still never enough.
Always consuming, never satisfied
Always scouring, never sanitized
Always dreaming, never actualized
Always running, never arrived
Each day I lather with gray
Foam peppered by debris
From we who receive more
And still never never never never never ever
Enough.
when earth squeezes us from her hair like too much water,
it will be enough.
