Largeness It’s a mighty fine word Until today, that is That is, today as in society (nowadays) We are “encouraged” To be small. Small waist Small nose Small arms Tiny brain They can’t handle this muchness This lushness They’re afraid of our size The history of our hills And mountains of skin Lofty mountains A landscape to make an artist sing. But as they shove us into our Small shirts Skinny jeans Tiny shoes They forget that this size, this extra-largeness Cannot be contained. We’re busting out of here. We’re claiming our space with our Large feet Large ******* Huge hips Our love handles and our lard Fear our stature    Our sweetness    Our ****** wiles    Our swagger We are deep people Large women.
