In my county, we put our genitals
in Tupperware, find a spot
in the back of the fridge’s
bottom shelf, and say I really
should clean out the fridge
someday. My neighbor

holds a Tupperware party. Guests
bring something in Tupperware.
All I have are my genitals.
When people see them,
each says they have them too.

I may stop storing them
in the fridge. No more secrets
between my legs. Tonight’s yellow
moon is a MacDonald’s fry
bent down to see if I’m naked.
I eat the moon,
and call some stars for strip poker.
