Five Works by Myles Zavelo

Dad’s 60th Birthday Party

The waste pipe blew.

My Babysitter’s Husband’s Funeral

Exactly what I expected.

My Best Friend’s Older Sister

First: I blew it.
Then: I couldn’t stop blowing it.

Killer

My psychiatrist said there’s a killer inside me.

Then,
Afterwards,
An Entire Rotisserie Chicken.

In The Men’s Locker Room At The Gym

I’m approaching.
I’m asking if they believe in God.
Most of these naked guys?
Nonbelievers.
