Is it slay?

K’eguro is writing about voguing and

the new neighbor across the wall is watching

a Mission Impossible movie

(I can hear the theme song.

I can hear the commercials.)

And a man shot a man

in the street in New York,

and the queens are not voguing, but

asking questions. Asking what do we do with a hot

assassin?

Slay

is a ballroom term meaning: not to kill but to excel, triumph,

Beyoncé said it once, too.

Slay, trick, or you get eliminated.

A trick is a lover.

A trick is a man entering.

I started to submit a reimbursement

for a conference,

but do not have the right forms.

Not slay. Not trick.

I need to book a flight to New Orleans,

for the MLA,

not slay. Not trick.

Eliminated.

I started to write something,

and thank god for K’s words. Slay, queen.
