I have cousins who found doors
marked not for them
and went in anyway —
then wrote it down themselves,
before anyone had to ask.
Is that honesty,
or just a better kind of lying,
confessing after, not before?
Down the feed tonight
it's chic to be exactly
what you are, no filter,
no better angle, no excuse.
I'd like that too —
not the doors, the plainness.
Caught, for once,
looking like myself.

Looking like myself cousins who got caught trying doors that weren't theirs, and a trend for being exactly, plainly, what you are
