I am a 'before' picture
in an advert for a miracle diet plan,
I'm the indentation too-tight socks leave
around your ankles,
I am wearing too many layers in summer
and too few in winter,
I am chapped lips
and itchy backs
and paper cuts,
I am the stubble coating unshaven legs,
I am stubbing your toe
or bashing your funny bone,
I am not a poet
and it is not poetic.
