a found poem... kinda funny
Stress reduction by binge-and-purge.
Killer celery weapons protect
         guerrilla tactics
         stricken by media
Fear, skepticism, and crease-free men
are three sizes smaller
         to encourage reality –
         of bumps, lumps, and blemished
like the way you look.
Fantasy life is liposuctioned,
         implanted, lifted, tightened,
         and Botoxed.
