veiw from behind


Have you ever felt that moment
 when you look in the mirror
and think you've lost weight,
 then look over your shoulder
 and find it?
Happens to me a lot
So I've got these black stretch pants on
the front looks good.
Fearful of the cushion lurking behind me,
 I ask my husband,
 "how does this look?"
As all men 
who have been happily married for a long time do,
he answered "fine"
much too quickly.
Now my Tom is not easily duped.
 when I ask him,
"do I look fat?"
his immediate answer is<
 "Do I look stupid?"
but I explained to him
that I know I am a hot 50 year old
(how's that for an oxymoron?)
 I just want to know
 if this is appropriate for school.
"fine", he reassured me again.
I get to school
walk past EVERYONE I know
get into my classroom
 and feel this HUGE lump
on my leg
 like an extra butt cheek
 halfway down my thigh.
What in the hell is that?
I pull a pair of tights out
of my pant leg
that had me looking
like I had a giant tumor!
So much for his future as a fashion consultant!
