Volume Control

I don’t care

about fashion anymore

but do have favorite looks.

A pink hooded tee

with three-quarter sleeves

that floats

on my shoulder blade hangers.

Delicious dark wash denim

with zero pudge overflow.

High-waisted sweatpants

tied tight to defy gravity.

My signature

ample green sweatshirt

my NY uncle

got me from his job at Perrier.

And underneath it all,

a skintight leotard daily.

It holds me in,

defines my edges,

Keeps you from oozing out.

makes me feel safe and secure

like a little girl.
