ESSAY: When I Think of Sex, a Moist Fog

When I think of sex, some people think of seals barking but I think of shrimp and bleach.

When I think of sex with some people I think of cones and rods, but they think of flywheels.

When some people think of sex, they think of plastic and rubber and frisbees but when I think of them and sex I think

of International Ultimate Championships and of grass stains on the knees and flies and zippers, and xs

over their eyes and they are dead and when I think

of them and sex I think I do not want to have sex with a dead person until I am dead.
