Queer Joy
is crushing on
your coworker
and never deliberately
letting her know–whispersigh.
It’s sitting open-
legged with pants
baggy, boots strapped.
Queer delight is your sex
drive, wild and whetted
appetite. It’s holding
hands with a woman
who makes your heart
bone, your smile thrust.
Queer jubilee is
the opposite of mimicking
giggles; it’s loving loudly, un-
apologetically, or-
gasming openly,
in sync
with your
best friend.
