Young Nostalgia
Location
Here she stands motionless on the scale
My dear sweet young sister enthralled by a fairy tale
The very one whose small feet pattered to her grade anxiously
Weighing not enough to fall from her veil
My sister sits beyond the one who instructs
A logic of reality is what she constructs
Slowly her wonderland twirls into a bland conception
For I see her gut, and in it tucks
The calendar melts and my sister feels gravity
She realizes the ground will not crumble with activity
Yet she winces as she walks fearing the worst
That others would realize her inequality
My sister stands motionless on the scale
Baring her naked to a doctor, so frail
Feeling the relief of the pressure
My sister falls dead to her tale
