jet setting

just returned from the dominican republic.
exhausted.

i told mom about the love of my life.
i mean it only took me like 6 months.
she still thinks i'm going through a phase.
i laughed.
but politely of course.

i drank
i ate
i partied
and even while i was trying to be low key
men still flocked to me.

i've cultivated my queer energy.
queer vibrations emanate from my pores.
the men look
then smile
and i look away.
they approach.

i was hanging out with my mother.
not cruising people.
i was trying to downplay my queerness and even still
the men came.

hopefully she noticed.
