They say I am Petite
Because they do not wish to say
That I am much too short.
They say I am a Plus Size,
Because they do not want to say
That fifty pounds less would be better.
My mother says the dress is beautiful
Because she does not want to tell me
That it needs to be three sizes larger.
The cheerleaders are honest
With the casual cruelty of cats
“Move it, Jumbo.”
If there is a special Hell for writers, it would be the forced contemplation of their own works.
-John Dos Passos
