Hey guys,
I lost a few fans over this one when I first posted it to social media. I guess farting on the person you care most about is pretty taboo. I'm not going to lie, I wrote this to be jarring. I didn’t want to just describe a romanticized version of love, but something more natural, realistic, (and if you let it) complete.
Till next time,
Justin
Strap In
by Justin Gil
I float to your side. you strap me in with your arms and lock me by the waist. our tangled legs fit together like two adjacent pieces of a jigsaw. you kiss the top of my spine, your toes prod at mine, death, taxes, and all other inevitabilities are far away. we continue our embrace till I fart to ruin the moment. you laugh half disgusted and turn away- our roles reverse.
