Things I’d tell you
I still get spam emails;
he thinks you spell your middle name with a C.
It’s mostly political newsletters now,
people who he thinks are progressive but who
don’t even have a principled platform on Palestine.
He took out a lien on Otis, from
a bank branch in Oshkosh that doesn’t exist.
It made giving the car away to a grandmother
recovering from houselessness
incredibly arduous for her.
I see your S10 pickup everywhere. Very occasionally teal,
less occasionally ducktaped.
I just read this incredible book about
psychoanalysis that I want to send you.
And another that finally gave me words for
Dad’s quintessential Libra behavior.
One of them being, Enmeshment.
The night you stopped speaking to me,
I told you Steven and I would marry. Then,
we were shot at with sound grenades at close range—
one exploded on Steven’s hand. My photos
from that night were used by the ACLU
in their lawsuit against the police.
Did you ever see those photos?
