My toenails are long. william banting They are thick and turning a shade of yellow. I find it difficult to bend and trim. Hunched over, I lose my breath; william banting my stomach gets in the way, my fat an obstacle. In the shower, for the same reasons, my feet are neglected. Grime collects around my thick ankles and my insteps. The skin there is mottled, light tan and dirty gray. Though my feet are not of Cosmo william banting quality, I find simple pleasures in them. I like to wiggle my toes. They look like a little bearded family, waving from the large deck of the ship that is my foot. I like to roll a golf ball underneath my feet, massaging my lack-of an arch, my callused heel. I move the ball in between my toes. The golf ball does what Katie's hands can't.
