2024 Poem Twenty Two

Little, Gay Awakenings

– Tasting her cherry chapstick for the first time

– Shego in afternoon cartoons

– My first short, short haircut

– The realization that humans could never be put into a box, let alone Box A or Box B only

– Liquid courage fueled telling her “I like you” and being the only one who knows the true depth of that tiny statement

– The beat of my heart as I knock on her dorm room door
