I’m not facedown in a cheesecake. Miranda

Dunkin’ Donuts coming to town…
making the newspaper, TV, radio,
talk around the coffee pot.
Valentines…get candy for everybody you know
or you won’t be respected
and they won’t feel loved.
You have to eat cake, it’s your birthday!!
Velveeta and rotel recipes
everywhere all of a sudden.
What snacks will you have for the Superbowl?
What commercials will they have
to get you to eat?

You know what? It’s not essential.
It’s not necessary. It’s not even fun.
You can live without junk food,
without comfort from food,
without a sugar high.
You no longer have to exist
face down in cheesecake.
