rise, shine

who would have thought this day would ever come? the city is awashed in double-digits temperatures. the great freeze may have been overpowering to the chills of adulthood but the penetrating rays represent the unencumbered audacity of youth.

i miss those younger years when thin was just a word, when i couldn't gain weight despite chilling all day. the days when food could be nothing but a dream. oh i ate and how i ate inasal. but satiety seemed easily reached and the plate was always half empty. now these hors d'oeuvres are maybe punishing to the self- esteem but they could not totally besiege the underlying confidence.
