Clockworks

Her mind is a clock - chiming at the brink of beauty

The clogs pulling her from side to side


The hour hand close - 

Slow but steady

Not quite there- 

Yes the minute prevails 

She lags behind 

But She'll never pass the hour 

Society 

She tries her best 

Block out the numbers circulating her 

Opinions 

Tick tock

Silence

Plus size

Plus, Plus and Plus again

The female body now Maths??

All this Adding – Multiplying

All this surplus knowledge to associate with FAT

Yes I said the forbidden word.

Gasp

 

Extra fabric? Bigger Sewing machine?

New Factory?

Extra Large sketch pad?

Or is it a different pencil they use?

 

Illusion dresses

Dark colours –

Flared jeans to balance that upper thigh

Capped sleeves

 

The usual wardrobe of a plus size queen
