I)
Ghidorah’s and my first date. We climb the fire escape
to look at the Minneapolis skyline. His arm suddenly
around my back. We do not kiss yet, but I pick out
                                             all my favorite buildings.
 
 
II)
Already there is so much
I’ve learned about you:
your favorite the pinetum,
you dislike shrimp, will eat
my ass if I ask you.
 
 
III)
Like a split pocket of marbles
whirlpools the concrete floor
to settle in the low center
                         of the basement,

Ghidorah descends on Godzilla.
 
 
IV)
I taste my first bomb-pop and think of you,
Ghidorah, the only boy I loved,
all of your ears sticking out so slightly.
I once saw a turtle washed out of its shell,
your hands too big for your body.
 
 
V)
How would you feel if car alarms went off for you?
                                           Nobody cares, but I care.
