A Body Changing Diet
Eating for garments
always tracking
barcodes
calories
decoding recipes
eating less than enough
food is fun
god knows it used to be
how i miss those days when
i was young and dumb
just being older
knees a bit creakier
life a bit wearier
my body, my tomb
now i know it’s silly
obsessing over vanity
progress pictures repeatedly
questioning half a pound
really it’s brainwashing
say most people reprovingly
they think i don’t know they
use calorie counters as well
vegetables before everything
water swallowed incessantly
xylitol sweetened ice cream
yearning for that sweet number
zero. is that even a size?
