We're going out for lunch
Mom announces one morning
I freeze with her words
Like I'm naked in the snow
She says we're going to a fancy restaurant
Up at the higher class part of town
Around where she works
Because it's my second cousin is coming over she says
She is twenty-one and lives
On the other side of the world
So her visits are supposed to be 'special'
But I can't go
I won't go
Imagine the calories, the oil
The deep-frying and preservatives
No
I am not going
I am not walking into my living nightmare
For fun
Not even for my family
I'm sick I tell mom
She places a hand on my forehead
And says I'm not hot
So I should be fine
But then she looks at me
Takes in my face and bones
The bones that barely hold me up
Stay at home she says
And I know when she turned around
To face the wall
Once again
There were tears in her eyes
