Fit

Two skinny stick-girls
talk about how they are
twenty pounds heavier
than me.

At home I smile at the
thought of being a stone
lighter than nothing.

Outside, it's too bright
for my eyes
weakened.

All I see in clouds
are faces
watching me.

Wish I didn't have to
walk alone,
but it's a good way
to keep fit.
