I eat.

Check out the acting reel.  A brother is coming up.  I won't be able to talk to you all in a minute.  I will be too famous.  And famous people don't talk about their problems to the general public.  Problems only come out in the ENQUIRER.  So, don't be surprised to hear very shortly that I am gay.  That is when I know I have made it when that rumor starts.  Matter of fact, I might as well start it right now. 

"Pssst, hey, I heard that Poetri is gay!" 

Well, we really know that is not true, unless you mean "gay" as in happy.  Whatever happened to that meaning?  How can a meaning change like that?  Lemme look it up and see if the meaning means the same...

gay–adjective

1. having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music.
2. bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments.
3. given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season.
4. licentious; dissipated; wanton: The baron is a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies.
5. homosexual.
6. of, indicating, or supporting homosexual interests or issues: a gay organization.
–noun
7. a homosexual person, esp. a male.
–adverb
8. in a gay manner.
gayness, noun

—Synonyms 1. gleeful, jovial, glad, joyous, happy, cheerful, sprightly, blithe, airy, light-hearted; vivacious, frolicsome, sportive, hilarious. Gay, jolly, joyful, merry describe a happy or light-hearted mood. Gay suggests a lightness of heart or liveliness of mood that is openly manifested: when hearts were young and gay. Jolly indicates a good-humored, natural, expansive gaiety of mood or disposition: a jolly crowd at a party. Joyful suggests gladness, happiness, rejoicing: joyful over the good news. Merry is often interchangeable with gay: a merry disposition; a merry party; it suggests, even more than the latter, convivial animated enjoyment. 2. brilliant.
 
—Antonyms 1. unhappy, mournful.
—Usage note In addition to its original and continuing senses of “merry, lively” and “bright or showy,” gay has had various senses dealing with sexual conduct since the 17th century. A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, a gay house a brothel. This sexual world included homosexuals too, and gay as an adjective meaning “homosexual” goes back at least to the early 1900s. After World War II, as social attitudes toward sexuality began to change, gay was applied openly by homosexuals to themselves, first as an adjective and later as a noun. Today, the noun often designates only a male homosexual: gays and lesbians. The word has ceased to be slang and is not used disparagingly. Homosexual as a noun is sometimes used only in reference to a male.

Well, now that took up a lot of reading.  Maybe you skipped the gay part.  That is cool, but please don't skip the next part.  Let's talk about the fat part.  For real.  Does anyone out there in the cyber world eat when they are not hungry?  I have asked this question a thousand times.  I just finished my fast a few weeks back and since then, I have been eating all the time. 

I eat when I wake up.  I eat before I go to sleep.  I eat WHILE I am sleeping.  It's hard, but I manage to do it every night.  I wake up having gained two pounds every night.  I know, right.  That is crazy.  Who eats while they are sleeping?  ANYONE?  This sounds like another "eating" poem.  It is not like I don't have a million of those.  Once I retire one...I just write another one.  And I think the next one in line is the good old fashioned poem entitled "I EAT'.  Cause I do.  I eat whenever, however and whomever.  Yes, I will eat you.  I will eat humans for lunch doggone it, if they sold it at McDonald's.  I am a eataholic.  I don't understand.  I mean, I will be honest.  I understand the eating "everything" thang.  I DON'T understand eating the "all the time" thang.  Even when I am not hungry.  Why do I eat when I am not hungry?  Please someone fill me in on this.  Do I have a disease? 

Lord, bless me indeed and enlarge my territory.  Keep your hands on me and keep me from my enemies so that I may cause no pain.  Halleluyah.

Keep it natural.

2 hollered!!!.

Pooeettrrrii!! first off, i just wanted to say OH YEAH I FORGOT I SAW YOU IN BLADES OF GLORY! ok i had to put that in caps because i sure did make a scene in the movie theater when i saw you on the screen. i think i scared the entire lil girls AYSO soccer team that was in the theatre. (yea, it was just them and me lol)... and i forgot that i wanted to tell u! ok so now you know :)...

but as for the "i eat" part.. YES. i eat all the time, too. no, i'm not joking. i'm eating now. even though i had dinner like 2 hours ago. :( it's like comforting. this one girl told me maybe i have repressed bad memories from childhood which is causing me to eat for comfort.. but i dont remember any bad memories! lol (ok yea i know: repressed means i wouldn't remember them).. but still... i'm pretty certain i had a loving and happy childhood...
poetri.. you are not alone with this eating thing. its a curse..... maybe we should start a work out plan or something...

gosh this was a long comment.... i'm gonna go now... probably get some ice cream lol... adios!
