Wheelhouse (Poem)

i wrote an incredible email this morning
and my heart is still pounding

(my boss even replied to me
separate from the string
"that was a great email Thomas"
and i beamed inside privately
i never had a father and have built my adult life around prying approval from older men)

i pulled sentences out of it, copied them into other emails
trying to keep the magic alive

i never thought my life would be like this.
