Many thanks to LatinosUSA —English edition for featuring my poem, "catfishing"!

The first picture she showed me on her
phone made me think
something stupid

It was a naked lady
but you could see her only from the
neck down

She was quick to see my dumb smile
and said, “No, you idiot! That’s not me!”

“I never said it was,” I said. “But who
is it then?”

Now it was her turn to
stretch a smirk. “My boss’s wife.”

“What?”

“Yeah. This lady here is my boss’s wife.
36 years old. Your average,
stereotypical frustrated housewife. She’s
looking to hook up.”

“What?”

“Heh, you didn’t catch up to it,
didn’t you?”

“Catch up to what?”

She closed her eyes
and slapped her forehead. “Uh, you
slowpoke! I’m catfishing my boss’s wife.
Don’t you get it?
I’ve made a fake hot guy account and started
sexting with her. Made her send
me nudes an’ stuff.”

“Shit,” I said. “Hold on, was I supposed to
understand all that just from
you showing me her pic? C’mon…”

She rolled her eyes. “Whatever.”

“But seriously, why do
you do
something like that?”

“Cuz I fucking hate the guy, if
it wasn’t obvious enough. I want
him to
suffer
big time.”

Well, damn, just when you think you
know someone. I always
thought she
was a good Christian girl

Also, if I remember correctly,
she was working in a family business…

empaths

these days a lot of
people call
themselves
empaths

They claim to be able
to feel what
other people
are feeling
and suffer with them

"I cheated on my boyfriend
with his brother," some
girl said,
“and being the empath
that I am
I started crying along
with him when he
found out. It's hard
being such
an empath."

And there was
the guy
who got into a bar
brawl and
knocked another guy's
teeth out
and held a hand to his
own mouth and made
pain noises

I guess he
was an empath too

If you have a
social media account
and don't describe yourself
as an empath
people will think you're some
kind of monster,
a psychopath, they'll compare
you with Hitler

Yeah, it's a good
reason not
to use social media

If you actually
needed another

you okay with this?

“You can’t use cuss
words on
social media,” she informs
me

and I tell her
that I know
already

I found it
the hard way

they took down my
posts for
profane language

I thought
they were just words
on a digital paper

I never cursed nobody
The words were never
addressed to anyone
or anything

They were only the
words of
characters in my writings

It’s fiction
isn’t it?

Are you okay living in
a world
where literary fiction is
banned because
it uses bad language?

What the
fuck?

the worst that can happen

few things can compare
to it 

The feeling of 
being alone 
at your job 

that feeling when 
no customer 
walks in 

no boss
or supervisor

not even 
colleagues 

perfect
sweet 
solitude 

You hope that 
it lasts 
for 
as long as 
possible 

until the shift
ends 

The worst thing that 
can happen is 
to have 
some random 
wannabe influencer 
step in and 
approach you with their
phone 
while filming and 
asking stupid questions 
or attempting to 
prank 
you 
or simply trying to 
pick up 
a fight for 
their social media
content 

May God 
of the Universe 
or any other higher power
out there 
protect us 
from such beings

like making a contract with a dumpster diving company

first came
the 15 page letters

They were
typed in parts and
written by hand in others

the ink color
would change
and the font
and the little doodles on
the margins
 
The only consistency in
the whole project
was the reader’s
inability to understand 93%
of it all

They were threats, alright,
but of what nature?

Well, next came the envelopes
filled with rusty and bloody
razor blades
pubic hairs
bloody tissues
bloody plastic gloves
broken guitar strings
clipped nails
pictures of random people
with their eyes crossed out
by needle scratches

“It’s not so bad
if you think
about it,” he said. “I get free
stuff in the mail. Sure, most
of it is junk,
but every once in a while I get
something good.
Look, the other day I got this
perfectly functioning pen. Heh,
I might even
start writing poetry again…
I’m tellin’ you, man, breaking
the heart of a psychotic girl
is like
making a contract with
a dumpster diving company to deliver
the junk to your mail. For free.
Goddamn, I should really
start writing poetry again. Now that
I don’t have to go
scout the dumpsters myself. I gotta
do something with
all the free time.”
