He’s overweight
she’s underweight –
they used to compensate
for each other.
Now they sit
on opposite sides,
neither ask
have you met another?
He smoothes his hair
and wonders
if she’s noticed.
She straightens her skirt
and thinks
forty pounds wasted.
But she spots the new cut
and wonders why
he’s had it.
He sees the skirt
and thinks
she never looked so good.
