i want to be fat! (poem by ojijo)

(extracted from Fireplace Stories: Ojijo’s Performance Poems. ISBN. 978-9966-123-17-6. 2012.)

 

don’t you love them,

fat, slow, relaxed,

big, smiling, not troubled,

i love them,

i want to be like them,

i want to be fat,

they do not run after a teacher seeking clarifications, marks, etc

they do not run after the boss seeking notice, appreciation, promotion,

they are relaxed, laid back, satisfied,

i love them,

i want to be like them,

i want to be fat,

they do not argue, shout, or yell,

they are not mean, sad, or miserable,

they are fun, free, and amusing,

i love them,

i want to be like them,

i want to be fat,

i want to be fat,

i want to be happy and carefree,

i want to be open and cool,

i want to be simple and easy,

yes, i want to be plain and basic,

i want to be fat,

fat people,

you do not see them scheming for promotion,

you do not meet them strategizing your downfall,

you do not find them huddled, backstabbing,

they are great and likeable,

i want to like them,

i want to be fat,
