went to put on
the friday night
try to forget fest
skinny jeans
only to find
you could fit two of my
former selves
in the levi’s
so i weighed my shell
lost twenty six pounds
that is apparently
what my heart
once weighed
it has
shrunk to nothing
like milesburg jerky
oh
how effective is
the heart break diet
diet coke coffee
cigarettes for brunch
sensible bourbon dinner
that never keeps sorrow at bay
a pound for everyday
since i last
kissed his lips
saw his
eyes
felt his touch
then
drove
each other
away
