blueberry muffintops are haunting my dreams tonight
miss salt's teenage weight gain's caused a horrible sickness
in the blue skinned children around her
and no matter what the teachers and parents do,

by our dear muffintopped teenagers,
who refuse to admit they've caught something

do i find the current
fraying at the edges of what i truly mean
which is to say

and the fighting children hidden within such a concept
keep everyone from making much of a life for themselves.

i'd be out of a job.
