I Have Absolutely Zero Interest in Sex
I have been celibate for three years. Yep, no intercourse since August 20, 2020; how do you like those apples? For further disclosure, I’ve had no sexual contact whatsoever, including kissing, petting, sexting, oral — OK, let’s keep this clean, but you know what I mean, NOTHING!

Un-American Girl
Six-year-old me did not understand why I had to go to the little room away from my classmates. Six-year-old me could not comprehend what all the hubbub was about; did I not speak well enough? Was something wrong with me? No, that couldn't be. Surely my parents would have noticed if something were amiss. I didn't need translation assistance; I spoke English, but my British English did not fare well with the American school system.

Victim/Suspect
This Netflix documentary is a must-watch, highlighting sexual assault cases nationwide that turned young victims into suspects. Led by the diligent efforts of journalist Rae de Leon, a modern-day hero, more than 200 cases were reinvestigated, which revealed incomplete reports, shaming, and systemic abuse of power by law enforcement officials.

Where The Crawdads Sing
Where The Crawdads Sing poetically weaves abandonment and isolation into a swampland setting. Perhaps even more lyrical are the things inferred yet unsaid and the subtle trail of hints of unseen events. Even still, the concept of Man's justice as opposed to the laws of nature is the most epic.

Shedding Light On My First Vocal Media Submission
On June 8, 2020, Vocal Media published my first story, a poem, and my first love of writing. Flash forward three years later, and I am reflecting on my Villanelle with an open mind, reminiscing on my newbie days when although I was inexperienced, my love for words would not let me miss one opportunity to create worlds with poetics partnered with my larger-than-life imagination.

Unfaithful
Let not one more lie slip from your lips. Free your mind, rid the eel at your heel. Need help? That is fine. I have a pic for you to make your jaw drop. A late hour find when my trip was cut to a mini. My work was done, so I came home. May hap too soon cuz what did I see in our bed; you and her, my best gal pal. Of gasp and gust, I flew out the door.
