my callow frame in younger days was cause for derision and nick names i was “will o the wisp” who disappeared when side-ways magically reappearing when front on
i was lean and keen a blonde-haired light surfing machine now when side-ways there is a bump a belly **** that wasn’t there before
was it habitually too much lunch that steadily grew the paunch? was it all those beers and cheers over the years and years? was it the invisible slide to a life sedentary that expanded organs alimentary? or is it a denial of my peter pan myth that with age i just have to put up with?
anyway suddenly it seems to have come but where the hell did it come from?
i looked down one day and my form wasn't quite as it was ?
