Ashley Anne Gamell, ‘If We Weave Our Bodies Together I Think We Can Build a Boat’
I’ll never admit that I am looking for God.
But I admit to watching you
while you rockingchair in prayer
to the vocalist and the sax monosyllabist
making their orgasmic babble.I’d build an ark to save you for an hour
if I believed in God
more than did him on the side.My lover is obscure, my life, within limits.
I’d like to think you’re not a place I go to
when I press on my eyelids.I used her for my Sexuality and Spirituality class!
you did? how?! did you get it from me or did you find it somewhere elseee
p.s. I bought infinite jest today (because you and david foster wallace are two of my favorite people)
