mary’s sister
pam is a slut
mary whispered to me
in the backseat of her parent’s car
we were going to cleveland
for her nephew’s first communion
i didn’t know much about pam or sluts
i just knew about mary
and what i knew was getting tiring
pam didn’t look like a slut
she looked like someone pushing thirty
who had two kids too early
and was trying to make up for lost time
pam’s boyfriend chuck
liked to grab her ass
in front of everyone
when pam went to fetch him a beer
i liked chuck
maybe he was the slut
and pam had a fine ass
i kept looking for signs of pam’s sluttiness
the whole time we were there
but other than putting bailey’s irish in her morning coffee
i couldn’t find anything
maybe my slut-radar was off
maybe i never knew what a slut was
the morning of the communion
pam came into the room
mary and i were sleeping in
it instantly smelled of roses and daffodils
pam saw me awake
and mouthed, ssssshhhhh
before opening a closet
to look for the boy’s communion suit
pam was wearing a black see-through kimono
and her panties were thongs
she had a tattoo of a pair of lips
on her right ass cheek
that i still remember thirty years later
when she left the room
pam winked at me
and i laid there on the guest bed
thinking sluts must be as magical as unicorns
wondering if i could rub one out
until mary lifted her head from the pillow
and said to me
see what i mean?
