wedding proposal
on the jumbo-tron
goes wrong

kiss cam
at the hockey game
a couple hugs

crowded music hall;
the only available seat
next to me

they said
she would say yes

hopping out of the pool
without
my trunks

doctor’s office—
he asks if I’m
sexually active

the girl of my dreams
sitting next to me—
flatulence

horrible towel
hanging up
i use it anyways

BOTTOM half champion

kissing her on my bed . . .
my father
clears his throat

dad’s text
to my mother—
wish I hadn’t looked

mom and dad
keep telling HIM
my childhood stories

the dirty joke
was not appreciated
family Chirstmas

recess with the cool kids
mom brings me
my forgotten lunch

looking through
the locked car's window
I see my keys

Bible Study
turns to all-nighter
. . . oops

leaving the classroom
quickly
we're caught at the door
