Tomorrow’s flight

I’ll Dramamine my
self into torpidity,
sleep through drink service.

Packing for vacation

separating the
non-essential from the much
needed is painful.

Protection

Soldiers wear helmets.
Women wear makeup, styled hair.
Our mode of defense.

Deal or no deal

TV’s “Fisherman
and His Wife” story for our
times. Unalloyed greed.

Survivor – Family Holidays

Two tribes – In-laws and
Parents – force you to over-
eat, then watch TV.

Lori Drew rationalizes

“She hurt my daughter,
so I wanted to hurt her.
Can’t you understand?

Weight watchers

On weigh-in day I’d
inhale helium if it
would make me lighter.

Unproductive

Inertia roosting
inside me like a hen un-
willing to lay eggs.

Feeling fat

Going to New York
to be on TV. Need new
clothes. A tent would work.

Midnight munchies

To eat or not to
eat? My stomach says yes, my
hips scream don’t you dare.
