So ridiculously excited to have two poems in the first issue of @forgetcool.bsky.social, a rad new online journal with an awesome zine feel brought to you by @mfitejohnson.bsky.social and @allisonwrites.bsky.social. Thank you so much to these fab humans for including my work! forget.cool/issue-1/

crush
it was neon lights in a strip mall, the flame of red letters
on yellow, big gulps bigger than a teenage torso

clove cigarettes stubbed out against the humid
virginia night, mosquitoes & the breathing dark

waiting to creep in against mostly empty parking lots
against the stir & sweat of all of us who couldn’t wait

for the clock to touch midnight so we could count out
our cash drawers & get back in our cars to crank music

we bought with slow-earned cash & employee discounts
to head somewhere other to basements alone

where we could keep blasting the sound of our still-forming
hearts to a friend’s house where we would smoke cigarettes

& clutch video game controllers or fumble fingers against
instruments to mirror back those same melodies that split into soul

to the backseat of a car where our mouths exhaled into the ear
& neck of another while song our only true crush surrounded us

it was belonging when you weren’t someone
who ever belonged anywhere

Image of smiling teen with long hair, a grey tee and cutoff shorts and a silver ball bell necklace.

I have an essay in this inaugural issue -- my first "real" essay in a super long time. I wrote about a guy I went out with who was obsessed with "Crash into Me" by Dave Matthews and thus, *I* became obsessed with "Crash into Me" by Dave Matthews.
