grindr musings #1

when i think about us crossing paths

the edges of our circles brushing against each other

electrifying

i wonder if by blue light will i transform once more

cinderella i am not

my glass slippers are baby wipes

crumpled in my bag because your trash was so hard to find

but still so obvious to the rational mind

i was following your directions

quiet as a church mouse

in a house where i was going to sin

LORD SAVE MY SOUL

but first, save mine eyes

for in this light, every man could be my savior

lord make my body clean,

lord make my body

nevermind

i sin on my own.

i smell a smell, i dream a dream
