​Digital Sex By María J. Estrada

Sally and Sal sit in the back seat of
A Cherry red Camaro
“I promise this won’t hurt”
He breathes in undulating rhythms
Searching her face, poking every slippery place
Like an erratic bee, unable to find the flowery center

Sally’s too busy texting
Blows a thick gum bubble
The screen outlines her smirking face and red “Passion” lips

Swipe He’s a hunk
Swipe Cute cat
Heart that pic of grandma farting
Tweet: “His breath smells like onions and dirty panties”

Sal fumbles with his penis, a penis he calls Rocky
A penis he has bragged has pleasured hundreds of women!

Rocky isn’t really so hard right now
Quickly, he closes his eyes, flipping through images

Images of street races
Epic gaming battles
Doritos with hot sauce
Big-breasted moms
Rocky is up for a challenge again

Sally, chin down

Swipes for an environmental cause
She taps on a tampon ad
TikToks: “The moon is full,” pointing with an erect finger and slurs a booze jingle
Dina Jones posts on YouTube: “Sex for a Penny”

Sally chuckles, takes a selfie

She sways to Dina’s tune, captures every letter every digital reaction
Sal breathes in exasperation, accidentally inserting into her anemic ass

Rocky is hard and the entry is harder
Sally knees up
Unbalances Sal, as she smacks Sal with her jewel encased phone
She’s too busy posting to curse
Pulls her Victoria Secret panties with one swipe

Rocky is soft as a dirty sock
Sal rubs his head, quietly sucking un-macho tears
She grins, holding the phone, and posts a floppy image
In the moonlight the evidence is clear

Rocky isn’t a champ, not even a contender
​
by Monday, it will go viral, and Sally will be flittering her fingers loving each Like and caressing the phone like an endless promise all the comments will get physical attention fluttering her fingers with a soft moan
fluttering as Sal should have
with her clit--
—had he bothered to learn how
on YouTube
