my dad loves tamales
but only with lard
bacon grease, real butter,
shortening, 5-star fat
only. on weekends
people visit. I crave things
I might not eat alone.
willpower is a friend
I ignore. guacamole, chips,
cheese, wine, beer.
donuts too, on Sunday
morning. my sleepover friend
speaks through neon teeth
“come on, have two.”
maple bar and chocolate with nuts.
poolside fat. Fuck the two-piece
bikini-thin my whole life
except that one time eating fat
in Italy, focaccia gnocchi gorgonzola
pizza pancetta pasta profiterole
my dad loves Italy too.
