Tasting but not eating
sipping yet not drinking
Following the reading
of the book about slimming
Calorie counting
fallacies digesting
Swallowing pills
intoxicating chills
A Lying Mirror
lo’ and behold
Litany of lies
being told
The bulging hips
The sagging belly
Get those pills
and don’t leave any
Self esteem
that is diving
in a pool
that is conniving
Opening
the locked basket
scary casket
of pandora’s trinkets
Smitten and bitten
by the snake in the kitchen.
Daily Prompt: Hyperbole
