Poem for the night so far.



"Natural-born anorexic"

by Kelly Alexandra Hoff


"Natural-born anorexic

'why try to change me now?'


Hear my voice?

why do I sound like this?

with this lisp?


Natural-born anorexic

'why try to change me now?'


Homosexual

subsisting

cold food

luke warm food.


how long did I leave it out?

(fell asleep again.)


throw it away?

and buy more?

& hope I have enough $ money.


Natural-born anorexic

'why try to change me now?'


Natural-born anorexic

in recovery.

'why try to change me now?'"



~ "Natural-born anorexic," by Kelly Alexandra Hoff. October 22, 2022.




'why try to change me now' - Cy Coleman / Joseph Allen Mccarthy, from jazz standard, "Why Try To Change Me Now?"



That's a poem I just wrote tonight. Yesterday I uploaded a new "poetry reading" video - to the internet, of my poem, "The Lexington," (2019). You can watch it and other videos of me reading a few of my other poems, here:
