Contributor Series 4: Aspects of the Elephant
Asexual BFF
By Gianluca D’Elia
Looks like we just broke up
We fought about a lot of stuff
But I still remember you
It’s pretty difficult not to
And I just realized
I don’t need a woman or a man
By my side
But I’d like to be your
Asexual best friend
I will text you all night
But I can’t give fashion advice
Like a gay best friend would
And I’m not straight either
And I’m certainly not bi
And never again will I be your guy
However I don’t want this
To be the end
I want to be your asexual best friend
Forever …

Wow. This is great.
Gianluca, this peom is incredible. I’ve enjoyed watching your work grow and mature.
Poignant. I truly liked this poem that was way off center and hit the target precisely.
