We Are Going To Be Very Thin Today

We are going to be very thin today

We are not going to go over four hundred and fifty calories

We are going to snap rubber bands against our wrists

We are going to tame the human within

Through punishment and torment

We are going to cut up magazines

And ignore everything they say

About full breasts, and childbearing hips

We are going to lie down

And hallucinate, high off hunger

And implode until we disappear

Our bones clanking dishes inside of us

We are carcasses covered in skin

Emphatic youth

And we are beautiful

Cold and blue

Ocean eyes.
