“I had faith in people

the way Earth has Moon

the way a cat’s named Kitty

the way god trusts me to know sin

and self-punish 

perhaps the limits of my erotic imagination are boring and predictable

but I will die grateful

for the adolescence I got to have offline

that pines sometimes obscured the view 

was entirely the point”
