I think I know why my body is so big.
There is a second person inside of me.
I eat so much to keep him in. To keep him from escaping. It's my only defense. If he escapes I will die
There is a second body inside this old body. No one knows it. This old body is Mormon. Is proper. Is chaste.
The inner body burns with passion. Do the people I pass have any idea what is in me.
Do the know what I am trying to hide?
He wants to break out leave the shell and fly.
I am old and dying.
He is old, but still an infant. If you were to see his naked corpse you would see a man who should have been born years ago. But I have kept him in. He is still an embryo. And when he breaks out he won't know what to do.
So I feed him. And I hope the food will substitute for his passion. That my secret yearnings never are birthed.
