Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #348
Jessie and Todd
by Belinda Roddie
Jessie and Todd were lovers in high school,
but once they graduated, it was doomed.
Jessie wound up with someone super cool -
a woman whose judicial career bloomed -
while Todd became a Catholic priest. He prayed
away the urges; his collar was stiff,
while his manhood was not. Jessie had made
a fortune off a video game blitz,
many she independently produced,
while her wife was bound for the Supreme Court.
In the meantime, Todd wanted to play loose
with a former nun at the church. A short
affair ensued, but he was quickly caught.
Excommunication is so not hot.
