text of the poem

Fat Girl: The Superhero

You wont be Wonder Woman
because you wouldnt wear
that outfit. Although, when
you were five, and not fat
you had those red boots
that you swore made you run faster.

Your least favorite is Super Girl,
the girl, the skirt, how close the word
Super is to Supper and how youd fall
out of the sky targeting
the first red Wendys sign.

Maybe you could be the awkward/
obscure Gigantic Girl whose gift
was growing tall, not out you notice,
but up. She was hefty, having
strength and size like a man.

Congratulations on the whole one year thing! You should tell us a little more about your cats. Loved the poem. I could see it in my head. It made me smile.
