Weight of the World

Closing my eyes today to ignore the young lithe twenty-something women in the front row, I climb the imaginary hill to the beat of Eminem. I spin and spin and spin.

I feel accomplished. I am neither the best nor the worst of the class.

Then that strong voice, the one that never leaves me, speaks “but look at that butt of yours! Why can’t you just put that fork down?”
