Space and Time

My whole life I’ve wanted to be thin
stay in
shape, toned
muscles and slim
figure
feel skinny
look pretty
fit in
small
spaces.

Now,
I want to expand into each and every crevice
fill holes, seep through cracks.
I don’t want to be
pencil thin
penciled in
to your day.

I don’t want to take
15 minutes.
I want the time it takes to
run
15
miles.

I want to balloon
steal the air
in nose and out mouth
full chest
open ribs
diaphragm for days
laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

They say
we
make time,
make space,
if it’s important.

Well, I’m important.
