I’d love to be thin
thin                                                        ­      
like a whip
like a grass blade
a grass blade                                                            ­                                
that knows everything
that
doesn't sleep
sleep                                                      ­                        
at night
or in day
and                    
that knows everything.
But
people look
and                    
people talk
and                    
I really am quite tired
tired                                                      ­                                                                 ­                           
and hungry
hungry                                                    ­                                                        
even though I know
I don’t need
need food
right
now.
now is not food
time
time                                                   ­                                   
is what I have too much
and                    
too little
since
with less time to
eat
I know I’d eat less
less                                                        ­                                          
than the minimal
I’m training myself
to
eat
slowly
but surely
I relearn how to be
be
anorexic.
