Abstract
Applebee's T. Dallas Saylor (bio) for Rachel Having broken up with my girlfriendI'm in a booth now with you playing cards while we wait for our food.It's summer, I've just finished high school, and I'm taking myself apart and puttingmy feet on backward, my head on upside down. In the dim dinner mood-lightI'm trying not to stare at your long pigtail braids,your figure filling out your cami and shorts, your penciled, shadowed eyes.We're growing up, and I love you, and you knowthough I've never said it, and you don't love me, though we sit closeand talk a secret language, and eat each other's food,and build the discard pile high. [End Page 78] T. Dallas Saylor T. Dallas Saylor is a PhD student in poetry at Florida State University, and he holds an mfa from the University of Houston. His work meditates on the body, especially gender and sexuality, against physical, spiritual, and digital landscapes. Copyright © 2020 University of Nebraska Press
