Pageantry
Miss
United States of Anorexia
Culture
dictates
Globally
Miss
Famished India recently
Women
to look
Twiggy.
Even
men are endangered
Angular
to the point
Where
there is caloric anger:
Not
enough oomph to sustain
Forth
Forever.
Healthy
and peremptory
Choices
between
Various
types of salad leaves
Minus
anything other than
Occasional
natural colon cleanses.
Reality
sacrificed
For
a contemporary fad.
Bout
with long-term miseries
In
thoughtful remission.
Doing
as you please
Forfeiting
preventive measures
Stating
unmindfully:
“Montezuma’s
revenge?
Just
a legend!”
Its
mechanics:
You
cannot possibly see
Yourself
sprawling about
In
contempt as you’re
No
longer
Agile
nor able to stomach
Pains
of the repercussions
Of
having subjected your
Body
and mind to the
Perils
of quick fixes
As
early as childhood
Girls
and boys pout for perfection.
A
physical reality for a numbered
But
we’re inundated with it
In
media and other ways:
Strive
for a size zero
However
make yourself
Retain
a glow. How?
Answer:
Going under the knife
In
the hands of a cosmetic surgeon
Until
you finally encounter
That
cat-like look in the mirror.
With
unimaginable artificiality:
Inability
to talk or laugh without
Winces
and twitches.
Then
elect a reconstructive surgeon
In the United States! Not Dubai or
Brazil!
