Clockwise Cat Strikes Back

Then we get back to Friday and Saturday and Sunday.
Which basically equates either utter debauchery or silence.
If your Facebook Christian happens to stray from the typical timeline, don’t worry.
If they occasionally like your posts about gay rights, race issues, religious equality (or
anything else Fox News would balk at) don’t fret.
Rest assured they’ll be back to their bullshit soon.
Sugarland
That first date was torture.
Frida Kahlo on the big screen
and the awkwardness floating between us.
We departed without so much as a kiss
or a concern for what each other desired.
You texted two weeks later.
Asked if I wanted to come over and watch a movie.
Our loneliness was our connection.
It laid down the from and to and lead me to your doorstep,
where you stood, embarrassed by the carcasses that adorned
your parent’s walls
wearing only a robe and the smile of someone who’d spent
all evening with a fantasy.
