You are the light house
I am the sea
When I drift away from you
You shine your light for me.
In the proximity of an epiphany
and yet
they try to discredit me.

ideas pop up like methane gas from a lake
light one and watch it take me away.

you can keep your quantum leap
I'll just plod along,
a tortoise with a purpose and
for dinner I'll
eat lettuce,

the hare was here
jugged.

She looks and shrugs at me,
says,
another epiphany?

a fallacy to suggest that
she knows best, but
I know she does.

If there was a way, somehow, I could recite all the poems in existence,

I'd do it for you.

Once, twice, thrice, till your need for words suffice.

Give them a chance to be on your side
preconceived notions tell you to hide
but,
opening up may yield a surprise...
even still,
what if abandonment i was right to expect?
what if the truth leaves me shipwrecked?
wait,
maybe now is not the right time
should i stay mute and continue to mime?
no,
why is it that this is so hard to say,
the thing about the matter is... i'm gay.

my head feels
like a stomach of alcohol
bursting, sick, warm, dizzy
i can't steady
my train of thought
itisfallingoffthetracks
there's a fire in my head
and when I look in the mirror
there is blood running down my face from my eyes and
from my shorts
and suddenly my mind starts working again
remember? it whispers
yes i do
