I Watch Documentaries Instead of Horror Films by Tracy Dimond
When I’m bored with horror films
I remember that the top scientists
are researching cellulite causes.
Why doesn’t age have a leash?
I believe enriched cereal
will enhance my bra size.
Synapses are a liquid dead zone
while we’re losing the battle
against underarms.
My diagnosis was to relax.
If you put your tongue on my spine
I would feel some calm.
I don’t think I deserve
any more free samples.
