The thing of which
We never speak
Shared glances
Sitting too close
Hugs a bit too long
And too tight
<
Messages at midnight
During a girl’s weekend away
Come see me
Come right now!
Things said while drinking
When the truth comes out
<
Discussed later
By one of us at least
Silence from the other
Shy again
Mum’s the word
But I know we both remember
About the Creator

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
