“To its chlorofluorocarbonic sexiness, like stilettos in a can. / To bangs like bandshells & the minor stardust / that glazed my dresser to a high sheen” —Karyna McGlynn, “This Was Supposed to Be an Ode to Aqua Net” @sarabandebooks.bsky.social

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ODE TO AQUA NET 
 
To its chlorofluorocarbonic sexiness, like stilettos in a can. 
To bangs like bandshells & the minor stardust
that glazed my dresser to a high sheen!
 
But something keeps showing up in the mirror
behind the poem & freaking me out:
that pack of Eighth-Grade Girls who pinned me
to the bathroom floor, sprayed Aqua Net
in my eyes & hissed, Say yr a dyke, dyke...
 
Say it... I didn’t quite
say it. Instead, I cried
through lunch period,
through the rest of Texas
History, down the halls & straight
into the New Counselor’s arms.
I rode the stallion of the New Counselor’s
Concern into the sunset of the school day
& stepped out of the office with something
special: the Key to the Faculty Bathroom.
 
In third-period math, Candace saw me
staring & flashed a gun from under the hem
of her denim skirt. She gleeked smoothly
into my hair & said she would hex me. 
 
“But why do they hate me?” I cried, nearly
fainting into the New Counselor’s arms.
 
Surely, I knew. I spent my youth
yammering my way into undeserved glamour,
trying to distract from the fact that 
I was unbearable. Meanwhile, the Faculty Bathroom
was dim & forgiving. The paper towels: softer.
The soap: pearly. There was even cinnamon
mouthwash & a little stack of Dixie cups. 
 
But I was a snide, sneaky, preposterous girl
who used Big Words on purpose. I wrote
earnest poems about squirrels toying to stay
warm in winter & recited them in a Big Voice 
& lapped up all the sweet glaze
of the Language Arts teachers’ weird
love for me, like Robert Frost
had tapped my soul & sapped
my maple syrup Himself. 
 
There I go again: snapping that big brass
Faculty Key to my backpack as if
I did something to deserve it.
See me clip-clopping down those
endless halls like a My Little Pony—
straight As tattooed across my ass!

good morning

a photo of a sunset over an ocean bay. the sun hued orangey red is reflected a bit on the water. there are two very thin and wispy trees in the foreground. the sky is purple to orange marmalade.

3/ Footnote: "To Sail Beyond the Sunset", Heinlein's last novel, was published posthumously and the opinions in it reflect the end of his political journey—from socialist-proximate in the 1930s to Reaganite libertarian-conservative in the late 1980s, an environment in which neoliberalism seemed […]
