My Only Poem

This is a poem I wrote in October 2006. I think I was feeling a bit upset at the time. I haven't written any more. No offence intended to any thin women with hair-slides.

Poetry is the new black

When I
go to a
reading
why?
are the girls so prissy
pretty
fey
faux
false
hair-slided
vegetarian
reserved
like they haven't yet got over
being the class swot?
Fat is a feminist issue.
Thin is a literary credo.
Get
a
life.
