christine weighs
three hundred pounds or
more
her hair is bleached blonde and
almost always unbrushed
her breasts hang like pendulums
stretching from chest to waist
her smile is padded by
bloated cheeks
christine loves tiaras and
sparkly ball gowns
she calls herself a princess as she
asks social workers for cigarettes
she tells me that her meds keep her feet
planted firmly on the ground
and i think i would be sad too
it seems wrong to take away the dreams of someone
who doesn't even have
a cigarette left to smoke.
