Keagan Wheat
Dear Logan,
Portsmouth never had
many kids when I needed
to learn how to play games.
Those kids wouldn’t recognize
the immaculate transition my body
suffered through. I don’t think we
are still friends. I have fewer curves
like the intimidating modern
house, squared and barren.
Caeneus should have been enough
to lift logs or escape aspiration.
The cherry mo-ped
circled the block twice
before leaving, and I still
was hurt by your anger
over my body.
