I am trying to figure out ways

to distract myself.

I made the mistake of looking at my butt

in the bathroom mirror,

but still ate some bread.

 

I crop-dusted all over the mall

it was so shitty anyway

I didn’t look to see who was behind me.

 

I pretend I take care of myself,

go to the gym

to look at everyone

look in the mirror.

 

I go to the dentist,

turning words in my head.

I write everything down

she might scrape away
