morning rain
the ground littered with chestnuts;
beech husks

My name is -- and I am fat
in line
at the slimmer's weigh-in
quietly confident I've done well
after the depression gains
I miss my turn once, twice,
distracted by a small lady dog
who waits for adoration.
any more for the raffle?
the closing cry of the weigh-in
before the stories start
