ONANISM

The corner of my childhood bed. A stued bear, color: cherry red. A toothbrush motorized inside. A 15-mile dirt bike ride. A pair of socks, balled up real tight. A hot tub jet, alone at night. Your kneecap, cased in denim jeans. Victoria’s Secret magazine. 16 years of bubble baths, a showerhead that can detach. A pointed toe, a cramping calf. Disgusted in the aftermath.
