heavy

heavier than the iron in a gym

or a whale out for morning swim

heavier than a fat man on your toe

or a stalled car that must uphill go

heavier than a poor country’s debt

or its rich politician’s wallet

heavier than a trophy wife’s ring

or a black man’s big thick thing

Heavier than Joe Frazier’s glove

Or an imbecile slowly going “how?”

the heaviest heavy thing in town

is yes – the weight of your frown.
