“It is simply not pleasant to be objectively observed — it’s like seeing a candid photo of yourself online, not smiling or posing, but simply looking the way you apparently always do, oblivious and mush-faced with your mouth open. It’s proof that we are visible to others, that we are seen, in all our naked silliness and stupidity.”

I’ve yet to find one concise article on what is okay for androgynous lesbians to wear to big kid job interviews and I really want to figure it out so that I can be the first to write that article.

so far I have: Merona, slim-fit dress shirts from Target, which are essentially the best things ever.

I want to have a legitimate career that pays a decent salary with benefits and holds dry Christmas parties and asks me to arrive just-five-minutes-sooner-than-my-scheduled-time but I also want to write faggot ass poetry and I think that’s my immediate goal.

“because this is what you do. get up.
blame the liquor for the heaviness. call in late
to work. go to the couch because the bed
is too empty. watch people scream about love
on Jerry Springer. count the ways
it could be worse. it could be last week
when the missing got so big
you wrote him a letter
and sent it. it could be yesterday, no work
to go to, whole day looming.
it could be last month
or the month before, when you still
thought maybe. still carried plans
around with you like talismans.
you could have kissed him last night.
could have gone home with him, given in,
cried after, softly, face to the wall, his heavy arm
around you, hand on your stomach, rubbing.
shower. remember your body. water
hotter than you can stand. sit
on the shower floor. the word
devastated ringing the tub. buildings
collapsed into themselves. ribs
caving toward the spine. recite
the strongest poem you know. a spell
against the lonely that gets you
in crowds and on three hours’ sleep.
wonder where the gods are now.
get up. because death is not
an alternative. because this is what you do.
air like soup, move. door, hallway, room.
pants, socks, shoes. sweater. coat. cold.
wish you were a bird. remember you
are not you, now. you are you
a year from now. how does that
woman walk? she is not sick or sad.
doesn’t even remember today.
has been to Europe. what song
is she humming? now. right now.
that’s it.”

in hindsight, trying to sell my former boss on hiring my girlfriend as a cashier by saying, “she’s a Jew, George. You know how good they are with money” may have actually sounded really antisemitic.
