a thank you to the **** star look-alike in my statistics class

When I am in statistics I cannot focus

because the world around me is ending in my mind

slowly fading into something without meaning

until I cannot breathe and I have to leave

to go cry in the bathroom.

 

When I am in my statistics class I cannot focus

because there is a boy there who looks like my favorite **** star

I know what his ***** looks like

     or might look like

     Schrödinger's **** in a box.

 

I cannot help but stare at him and

picture him in gym shorts and no boxers

or cargo pants and no boxers

or just in boxers

or.

 

It's an uncomfortable feeling of morbid intrigue that

makes me tap my toes too fast.

 

I want to know him.

 

I want to tell him that

I love the way he smiles

and laughs and communicate s

and makes sure everyone is safe and happy.

 

I can only watch **** that has behind-the-scenes features.

It's comforting to know that

everyone is happy and

everything is consensual and

everyone is having fun.

I get too invested in these people, too attached -

 

One time I had to give up

and take a moment to breath

because I was just so overwhelmed with pride

Like a parent watching their kid graduate after all their hard work.

 

And that feeling is not okay.

 

And seeing that boy in my class is not okay,

 

Because I feel so proud of all he's accomplished

So when he answers a question right in class all I can think about is

When he ****** a **** on camera for the first time

And the first time he licked whipped cream off another man's *******

And it's very distracting.

 

When I am in statistics I cannot focus

because I start to worry that I will fail this class

and then I start to worry that I will hate my future

and then I worry about having a future in the first place,

bunching up into an unfocused, panicking, asthmatic mess.

 

The **** star boy is a distraction.

 

It's because of him that I'm passing this class.

 

 

 

( and in a way, a stupid, silly way,

it's because of him that I'm alive. )
