A Dream in Which People Applaud While Two Women Kiss

A Dream in Which People Applaud While Two Women Kiss

By Mel Sherrer

There is not one thing bizarre about it.
It’s not fanfiction, or a Youtube wlw mash-up,
not a pop-up ad you wish your coworkers had not seen.

It’s not a department store commercial during Pride month.
It’s not a fantasy with someone watching from the corner.
It’s not locker-room-talk.

It’s the real deal,
and folks are happy for them.
