KFB FRIDAYS | THIS FRIDAY

II.

We get home
referring to some shitty moldy apartment
we take off our clothes
referring to the clearance rack at Goodwill
we lay down in our bed
unsexed and sexless
the ritual of getting ready took
too long for both of us
and after working
our collective seven jobs
filling out applications
obsessively checking our
credit card statements
shuffling money from
savings to checking and
back again we give up
the notion of fucking
and just sleep for a while

TRAVIS SHARP “Part Five: Romance in late capitalism” from Sinister Queer Agenda(above/ground press, 2018)

The communication of experiences in which barriers are broken is one of poetry’s most crucial roles for me. MICHAEL FLATT
