Memoir

From ‘Ten Bridges I’ve Burnt’

Alumni Sweater
I graduated from UC Berkeley
the summer of ’88
I am a crowning achievement of liberality
I often wear my Berkeley sweater some thirty years after
its relevance to me
near as I can tell
when the fabric clings to my perfect goddamn muscle daddy gym body
to the rest of the world
all my bullshit is rendered virtually scentless
it’s a look that reads
“I fuck white boys and voted for Biden”

when I wear my Berkeley sweater in New York City
I read as a “pussy nigga”and I literally can’t deal
but
all . . .
