I know this because I cannot shop
in regular stores where sizes top out
at 14, 16 at most. 

I can hike 15, 20 miles a day
but I cannot fit into garments
designed to fit size two 

through ten, as if they
are the only bodies
entitled to take to the trails. 

I challenge you. You may
be smaller than me, but I bet
I can beat you to the next ridge.
