AC Slater glides into the room,
he smiles, dimples
break you in two
you are in love, he shoots
a finger gun at you
and it’s a secret love.
2.
Shawn runs his hands
through his hair, split
perfectly into two parts.
There are these two parts
to his hair, it parts
you in two, you
are two parts. One of you
is a lie.

Uncle Jesse cries
in the storage room
of The Smash Club
you are sitting across from him.
He tells you it’s too much
to leave her, but he will.
4.
The Red Ranger
hold out his arms
yells out “T-Rex”
and becomes
you.

AC Slater
in his wrestling
unitard.

If you split me down the middle.

Prayer isn’t as effective
as you think. He
cannot split into two.
8.
Harvey doesn’t know
about your secret life
the secret attic door
that goes into a world
he can’t accept.
9.
You put all of your thoughts
in AC Slater’s dimples,
the one about him,
the one that splits you into two.
