From a series of
BREAKUP SONNETS
In using this form, I looked to challenge it and to intentionally queer it in content,
grammar, language, and with the assistance of predictive text from my iPhone.

Wet heat hot jet-sweat oh boy!
sweated and wetted heat-toy
stink wet-sweat and sweet my joy
how to sweat-wet skeet on me
how to spill the tea and keep a
beat down break up street leggo
clean up the clatch my come-clasp
leggo the grasp unleash that latch I
know it’s not right mine-made and
splayed we should unsnatch swipe
down and unmatch snap back the
hatch how did we end up at the end
and look what we did to this hole
made it sweet and sweat and sad
