look through the window
and what do i see?
rows of gay footwear
staring back at me
with her in the center:
a cinderella slipper
in the form of a black leather boot
blundstone
on the phone
i tell my friend
today’s my day
to embrace the gay
(although slipping into this slipper
did involve
a bit of jamming
and yelling
in the middle of a discount shoe store)
and then there i was
foot in blundstone
thrust into myself
as if for the first time
i walk on the backs
of all the lesbians
that hath come before me
and i am whole once more
