MAYBE it will offend
it is a TREASURED memory
ONE day
she was standing THERE in the cash wrap
her HAIR radiating GOLDEN
vibing earth goddess somehow
& I said
you smell REALLY GOOD
she DOES NOT
miss a BEAT
I'm MENSTRUATING*
ALSO
she brought me FOOD on thanksgiving
she brought it to WORK
she ONLY brought food for ME
like she was making a POINT of it
she had a BOYFRIEND
she wasn't HITTING on me exactly
it was SWEET
AND
one night I gave her a RIDE home
& she wanted me to come up to her ROOM
wanted me to hear ROCKY RACCOON
leaning across the BED
& I thought
there's a PRETTY good chance
she WANTS me to kiss her
she was like seventeen
I was like TWENTY five
her MOTHER
nearby
I can't say I EVEN considered it
but the IDEA of her
was STRONGER than the ACTUALITY
& I wanted her PURE
in some way
(to be continued)
*like duh of course I am the incense of ♀️
