\n
they try to sell you lite beer\/lite cake\/lite
\ncookies\/
\n
pepsi lite\/99% fat-free
\n
but who\u2019s trying to be fat-free?
\n
certainly not me
\n
let me see your thighs jiggle
\n
they\u2019re jiggling, baby
\n
\ngo `head, baby
\n<\/font><\/p>\n
\n
Don\u2019t tell me I\u2019m not fat
\n
That\u2019s like saying I\u2019m not Black
\n
yes technically my skin is brown
\n
but I say I\u2019m Black because I\u2019m
\n
down with the Blackness
\n
like I\u2019m down with the fatness
\n
because fat is health is life is fertility is
\nwomanly
\n
let me see your belly jiggle
\n
it\u2019s jiggling, baby
\n
\ngo `head, baby
\n<\/font><\/p>\n
\n
even really thin women jiggle a little
\n
unless they work out to have a body of steel
\n
but who wants to look like that? get real!
\n
This poem is a thank you
\n
to the big bodacious mujeres de Cuba
\n
who taught me by example to know no shame\/
\n
show no shame
\n
to the big body women of the West Indies
\n
who know how to wind\/wind\/wind at
\n
Carnival time\/time\/time
\n
let me see your hips jiggle
\n
they\u2019re jiggling, baby
\n
\ngo `head, baby
\n<\/font><\/p>\n
\n
turns women\u2019s bodies into problems to be solved
\n
cuz anorexia ain\u2019t sexier
\n
& bulimia ain\u2019t dreamier
\n
Therefore next time you count calories, don\u2019t
\nforget
\n
to count the thousands of years that women\u2019s suitors
\n
have thought that cellulite was quite all right
\n& were
\n
ready to embrace abundance
\n<\/font><\/p>\n
\ntrac
\n
Don\u2019t forget to savor the sensual feeling of sweat
\n
sliding down the rolls in your back
\n
& next time you\u2019re working out in step aerobics
\nclass
\n
don\u2019t forget to enjoy the bounce of your ass
\n
it\u2019s jiggling, baby
\n
\ngo `head, baby
