"Hop on and we'll see
What you weigh," she
Said with a cadence suggesting
It has been said before and
Will be said again.
"Your weight is borderline," she
Said with a cadence suggesting
It has been said before and
Will be said again.
"I'm exercising and lifting weights," I
Said with a cadence suggesting
It has been said before and
Will be said again.
These days, I do the weights
Even if it does not help my weight.
Bones, muscles, strength, stairs,
My goals not theirs, but clearly
Weights seem to offset the scorn
When what I weigh is not the
Optimal weight.
