Skinny People* Poem by Heather Z. Hanna

Skinny People*



Skinny people, beautiful people...
Because we are oversold on visual beauty
Our maleable minds are shaped
Like clay
And baked
Like clay
Into a fixed idea?
How beautiful people would be
If we could see with our ears instead of our eyes.

(5.22.8 Mission)
