SISTER ANNE
by BAX
Sister Anne was a favorite
of all the boys
and for good reasons
too.
First off she was younger
than the others.
And didn’t smell of
mothballs and camphor
when you got close. She didn’t fart
like Sister Angela would
when she wrote
on the board.
She had a great smile
and was always
sympathetic and friendly
about any problem
or problems
we might have.
She had a flirtatious
manner about her
and we weren’t sure
if it was her
or
that r disgusting Catholic School boys
minds of ours.
She prayed a lot and
was in church often.
Still we all fell in love
with her although
we knew it was
a sin.
We all knew that
she was a bride of God
and that it was to Him alone
that she was pledged.
Still we couldn’t help it.
No, we couldn’t help it
at all.
I used to dream about what
was under that white gown
of hers.
What she must look like
in bra and panties.
What her tits and thighs
and ass looked like.
And how they would feel
if I got my hands on her.
I dreamed about being
between her legs and
moving around.
About grabbing the cheeks
of her ass in a moment
of passion.
I knew it was a sin
to dream or even
think like that. But
I did and had to confess it
in confession every Saturday,
so that my soul could be cleansed
for communion the next day.
Sister Anne was real
but she was a fantasy too.
Something to reach for
that was never attainable.
Then one weekend we
went into Manhattan.
Me and some of the guys.
We went to 42nd Street
past all the glitter and
neon where there were
stores that sold DVD’s
“For adults only.”
We each bought two
because they weren’t expensive.
And we each picked different ones
so that when we went back
we could trade them around.
I had to sneak to watch
the ones I had bought.
The first one was great
but the second one
held a surprise. For
there was Sister Anne
in all her naked glory
doing all the things I
dreamed about. And
even a few more.
There was no mistaking it,
that was Sister Anne.
Or her identical twin.
You can never be sure.
They say that everyone
in the world has
an identical double. Maybe
that was Sister Anne’s.
I watched it and watched it
and watched it again.
The next time I saw her
I watched her closely but
still couldn’t tell. Was it her
or was it an identical double?
I still don’t know.
All I know is that I didn’t
share that DVD with
the other guys.
If it was her, her secret
was safe with me.
That gave us a bond.
Brought us closer together
in my mind.
Closer than if we actually
did share a bed together.
She continues and
as far as I know she is
still a nun.
I still have the DVD.
It is a treasure I will value
all my life whether it is
Sister Anne or not.
