Song of My Soul

San Anto

i had the epiphany that
i have a San Antonio chola body -
the barrel belly and flabby haunches,
the most overflowing of muffin tops
rising over too-tight pants or
(godforbid) little shorts.
always with flip flops.
perhaps i should just start dressing the part to fit in.

getting distracted

sometimes you get distracted by loveliness
that you are not allowed to experience.
it happens to all of us and it sure does suck,
especially when you get yourself all worked up about it.
