Fatologie

Search for it, and you’ll find
A great deal about fat
And not much about Fate,

Not in English corners
Of the sprawling world mind.
Good. Bodies still rule mind,

Furious Gulliver
Whose life depends on them.
A million little threads

About fat, about shame,
Exercise, diet, love,
Playlists of songs by fat

Singers and bands. Nothing
For several pages
About roles life exacts

Or Providence, except
Perhaps as Providence
Pertains to being fat.
