interesting twist in the last line.
first you create this kind of disgust, thats so typical of our society, to watch the "fat man" curiously as we like to watch freaks or misery maybe in order to feel better comparing them to ourselves.
then the "fat woman" comes along and the two well fed seem to have fun, not bothered by the watcher.
but this fact seems to bother the watcher, maybe he even is jealous. Maybe he is a stylish thin man but doesn´t manage to find company so easily.
so he doesn´t watch anymore.
well, your poem made me think.
that´s my idea of a poem´s signification: it should make think or feel or both.
