: Homo World
Heterosexuality
- unheard of in our town.
The thing of New York, London, Manchester’s Mecca.
Acting straight and dancing straight;
delights relegated to short stories
Vaseline-smeared-porn: internet-hunched in my bedroom.
Rock Stars, Pop Stars, not everyone.
Not us.
Not our town.

I work at a survey center
and tonight we were interviewing people from Mass about politics. I was getting to the end of a survey with an elderly woman when I asked the question, “Including yourself, how many adults currently live in your household?” She said, “Just me and my wife.”
It made me smile for the rest of the night. Best night at work, ever.
