What is skinny?

I want to know

I have been fat

Almost as long as I’ve been “alive”

I want to know what it’s like to feel/see my bones

If you're interested, dear Betty, stroll over to my Tumblr and listen to Carly sing "You're So Vain." If you connect, you might swing over to YouTube and listen to her official music video of "It Will Be Coming Around Again." If you haven't heard them, well, she speaks your language. Be safe and well, my sister poet.

I will do that now!

Dear Betty, I finally figured it out. I knew your amazing poetry reminded me of someone. Have you heard of Carly Simon? She was quite a popular singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist back in the 1970s till the late 80s, maybe early 90s. Two of her songs were major hits: "You're So Vain," and "It Will Be Coming Around Again." I paid a visit to my playlist and listened again. Yes - you and Carly are most definitely soul sisters!

I have never heard of her! I will have to look her up right away! That’s very interesting, thank you!!
