"Ghostlier demarcations, keener sounds"

I creep back into my heteronormative shell in front of my parents. The return to the congestive closet after five years of open living is murder.

How the fuck is that supposed to feel any better? What do I exactly celebrate this April on my fifth year anniversary?
