Heck of a way

I know I lost weight spending a month in the hospital. I also know people mean well. I'd rather they said Good to see you or Have a seat or even how about lunch?

This was a heck of a way

To diet.

I don’t know

What size to purchase

Any more.

Nor do I know

What looks good

With a walker

And  AFOs

Much less

What size I am.

When people tell me

You’ve lost weight

Do I say

It wasn’t intentional

Or

Thank you

Or

Simply smile

And move on.
