I slide into the limelight of time
Living as a homosexual man
In an ever-changing environment
That despises the personability of a gay man

I feel the beating brickhouse beats
That rumble on my feet
suspended dreams in unidentified galaxies
Slashed magic stuck in shadowed vacancies
Smashed nouns, unsound pronouns
Cut-off diction recklessly ripped
Stripped, slammed into jammed junctions

I can’t function in this run-down dungeon
Of smoky conjunctions, feeling like
I’m being constantly hunted down
By a bunch of wild animals
Extremely wishing to saturate
Me in straightness, take away my gayness
Make me more masculine than feminine
Contaminate my gorgeous garden
Of pleasantly-smelling flowers
Seep exceedingly into my incandescent presence
And spray fabricated thoughts
All around my heart-filled sweetness

I can’t be what the world
Wishes me to be
I am a gay rose that grows unendingly
Forever consumed with desire for bad boys
Hot boys equipped with the smoke
***** hood hotness, rough-blazed streetness
Ringing, slinging stick dudes
Aggressive, rock-house homies
Smoke a pound thugs
Get lit with an L fellas
Immaculate swagger, sophisticated flex
Supreme hands to dominate suave bods
Sweet, boss beards, fierce, magnetic eyebrows
Snazzy sick hair designs
How could I not be mad about
All the attractive men throughout the land?
