Brad Pitt (A Poem)

"Have you ever been fat, Brad?"

Brad Pitt

By Aaron Smith

With cotton candy armpits and sugary

Crevices, sweat glazing your donut skin.

Have you ever been fat, Brad?

Have you ever wanted a Snickers

More than love and lain on your bed

While the phone rang and rolled one

On your tongue, afraid to eat it, afraid

It would make your jeans too tight? Have you

Barfed, Brad, because you ate it,

Ate all the take-out, licked

Brown sauce off the box while you sobbed?

Brad Pitt down in the pits chaining menthol

Ciggys in your thick-wallet life,

It’s not so bad Brad, sad Brad, is it?
