You had proms
I had glory holes
—Wayne Koestenbaum
is it a joke? i look him up.
he’s eight years old than i am.
my bit about wishing i’d had
more gay hanky-panky in those
early years is just a bit. isn’t it?
maybe it started in earnest.
but i went to my senior year
prom. and from what i can
recall of it (i mean it was my
senior year; it was prom), i
had a blast. on the subject of
anonymous sex, i only
condescend. with upturned
lips, all of the what ifs re
soundingly hiss a response
in unison: not on your life!
