Slim Blues

Slim, I be (people tell me).
Friends and strangers all agree!
Eat a cheeseburger and an ice cream, be what the ex Mrs. Degenerate decreed when she saw me back in the City.
“Yer too slender…yer too lean…”
Blah, blah, blah, on and on prattled she.
Bah, why do you care!? I finally beseeched.
We…
You and me…
We’re no longer a team.
Be the reality, sweetie.
Now, leave me, thank you and please.
Let me be skinny in peace.
