A free-verse about bulemia and anorexia.
I pledge allegiance to the god
Of the United States of Obesity
And to the girl for which it stands
The one with perfect breasts
Who is six foot and petite
For her I fight my silent war
Crying, choking, losing
Fingers down the throat in usual form
Because at five foot six and ninety-six pounds
I'm fatter than any girl has a right to be
