Throw away all that Sylvia Plath shit right now because this is the only poetry book you’ll ever need, 1980’s Touch Me: The Poems of Suzanne Somers.
Here’s an excerpt from Somer’s poem “Organic Girl”:
Organic girl dropped by last nightFor nothing in particularExcept to tell me again how beautiful and serene she feelsOn uncooked vegetables and wheat germ fortified by bean sprouts—Mixed with yeast and egg whites on really big days—She not only meditates regularly, but looks at me like I shouldAnd lectures me about meat and ice creamAnd other aggressive foods I shouldn’t eat.
