Adorable straight (?) girl fumblefingers her magazines
just as i'm walking by.
she knows
i'll stop and be her dyke in shining armor,
collecting Cosmo, Glamour, Marie Claire up off the floor
to hold them out to her like a six year old with dandelions.
She knows
i've been sweet on her for years and years,
and that i'm a sucker for anybody's wedding.
I don't know if she knows
that i cried when i heard about hers.
Magazines safely back in her arms,
she tells me I had better run before she
sucks me into her web.
Too late--
The Incredible Human Fly
is already stuck
and buzzing
for all the good it will ever do me.

Cookie, this is cute and sweet and full of that angst that comes from those of us that are "other" in this world, compared to those women on the heteronormative continuom. It always hurts when we find one that likes us back even a little...your metaphores are sweet,bitter, and to the point. I for one am tired of that spider bite, it gets old- that feeling of never enough, but so hard to fight when it's in your face day after day after day ( and god when they're so sexy and beautiful ) how can you not be affected?
