Showing up at ten PM
on a stranger’s stoop
is always going to feel
like levitation.
I have never felt more alive
than I have in the moments
when when I have matched
with someone on Tinder
and met them hours later
questionably aware
of the ways the encounter
could go south.
Breaking a bout of boredom
has, historically speaking,
demanded irresponsibility,
and taking an Uber
to some random man’s home
has never been easier.
Maybe, they should use that concept
for their next marketing campaign.
