In the office
in the freshly minted safe space,
Tina Fey’s lesbian twin
speaks to me of exposure exercises,
the New Yorker, sexual disconnection
& other terrifying topics that
(to my credit)
only momentarily make me think
about hurting myself.
Intense.
But even in the shadow of all of this trauma
Bright Young Man
Scrubbed & Gleaming
catches sight of my mostly random hotness
and the moment of recognition / Attraction / Shared Experience
SURGES <——————————————-> BETWEEN US
signals sent and received
with no conscious effort:
A sign post to lead me back into the light.
“And they say it’s not natural!”
