LINES FOR A BBW
fat is wine
your big cool arms
flow in my veins like milk
poor little Gloria Vanderbilt
fat is drug
your drunk breasts
suck hungryjangly brainmouths
where are you now Janis Joplin
fat is food
your big moons
would feed me running clear to Texas
eat your heart out Jean Nidetch
fat is love
your big body
worldlovebed
faretheewell Jackie O
surcease clawing yourself
lie with me tonight

Big Beautiful Woman. The word was coined by Carol Shaw, who started a magazine called BBW some time in the 1980s. (It folded many years ago.) The word is well known in the US, perhaps not elsewhere. I can only love a fat woman. Fortunately I'm very happily married to one.
