Gospel Truth

I sit on my

ample

ass at church

with my small breasts

and thick legs.

Just look at the way

your thighs fuse together

and ooze across the pew.

Through a haze of dark thoughts

I hear Ephesians 5:29:

“After all,

no one ever hated their own body . . .”

and I want to stand on my seat

point and shout,

“Bullshit!”
