Coke Bottles


I've always heard it's nice
To be shaped like a coke bottle,
But I've seen those coke bottle girls
Bullied for being
 
"Too big,"
"Too much,"
"Too fat."
 
What are they supposed to look like?
They have curves,
But curves are made of fat.
Is that where the problem lies?
 
Tell me,
What's so wrong with the softness of flesh
That you demand it to disappear?
I thought you liked coke bottles
Until they were real.
