  Remembering beach-bright days,
short shorts, and roller skating,
I decide to paint
my silhouette.
Quickly, I multiply mirrors,
strip, then look.

 What has happened to me?
I see where the latest
forty pounds resides.
My ribcage has pillows!

 If I hang from the door frame,
will my waist return?
Yes, sides smooth as sand.
Silly girl, you can’t draw
with your hands overhead.

 And then there’s my butt—
depression descends.
My once round bottom
splits into two squares.

 Forget the mirrors.
I throw on a fat-man’s T-shirt.

 I’ll draw my feet instead.
