Bodies

Why do we have to choose between
brains or beauty
bread or beauty
this body’s health or beauty?

Why do we have to loose weight
So that we don’t have to wait
for our dreams to be realized?

Why do we have to confine our being
Instead of just being
who we are
how we are?

So friend, if your body
expands
explores
exclaims their existence in this world,

Stop. Listen. Hear the whisper,
“I love you. Can you love me?”
