Starving Flow

my period

.

.I don't want it anymore.

I've never gotten thin enough to stop having it

and

- disturbingly as it may be -

that's a major goal of mine.

I had a girlfriend in college

[a teeny-tiny girlfriend]

who never had hers

...for at least 3 of the 4 years I knew her.

And I was incredibly jealous.

Mostly because periods are a pain,

but also because that's the ultimate sign:

that the body is starving

and

surviving entirely on itself

without the excess to cycle.

I want a minimalistic, periodless body.
