      My Secret Sex Diary

      Feb 21, 2020

      The best sex I ever had was with someone I had an affair with. I hate to think of that time and, when I do, I don’t really recognise who I was back then. I’m still dealing with all the guilt around being a cheater and hurting someone I loved so much.

      I

      In seventh grade I found a bluejay

      dead on the sidewalk.

      Above, between two branches,

      a nest, and I guessed

      that little guy had failed at flying.

      I put a Doritos bag over its body

      and stomped on it just to see,

      to end its misery.

      II

      There are men in white coats

      holding my mother’s hand, apologizing

      while she shudders like a dead fish.

      Three of them hold out tissues, white flags.

      They surrender.

      III

      May we be strong and pure

      and thereby more fit vessels

      for His holy light.  Amen.

      IV

      Look at the coffin-kissers,

      tie-straighteners, jokers, criers,

      little kids, men in wheelchairs

      with limbs gnawed by diabetes

      all dressed in ties, buttons, veils,

      rented suits, wrinkled dresses.

      What a dark carnival!

      Everyone is hugging, sharing their sadness,

      My eyes fixate on doors, EXIT
