I’ve done well for weeks
but want to wear a dress
that is tight
So tight, you have to fast.
to look good
for an AA wedding.
Like a regular wedding
but with recovering alcoholics all joking
everyone will remember it
the next day.
Black-and-white vertical stripes strain
to stay integrated around my hips.
Starvation is your only option, pork chop.
I am just so hungry.
Break down over a bag of frozen Ore-Ida!s.
Three shifts in the microwave
salt them up shove them down
greasy fingers moving quickly.
Until
You will never fit that dress
date will be here in an hour
you have no choice
but to flush those
tots away.
I did it again
a stupid failure.
Should’ve known
I can’t change.
