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:
