I identify as a turn-up queen/public health professional. I wrote a poem after a pandemic night out that I regretted.
How could he host an entire function
touting 300+ with no masks?
Hand soap invisible, like ain'tnone
I thought I had wanted a turn up
Base shaking the walls
and a roar from the dance floor
something I wanted to dance to
Now he's bouncing the door
talking too closely with strangers
I am locked in the bedroom
afraid of the air wafting under the frame
Dancing alone with no shame
Double-masked tight, teeth cutting my lip
An irresponsible disappointment
and he's got no shame
