The wedding hookup
was drunken, loud
shameful and short.

It was with a stranger
who “normally doesn’t do anything like this –
really!”
but had condoms enough
for a dozen more encounters.
The wedding hookup
was not without
experienced participants.

The wedding hookup
was exciting
The wedding hookup
was dangerous
The wedding hookup
was supported by a soundtrack of VH1 hits of the 80s
which did not stop me
from hearing every single sound
of the wedding hookup
in the room next door.
