The nurse glared at me With eyes Like needles tensing every muscle in my body Her voice projected “Within the past year, have you had *** with another man?” Do cows moo? Is water wet? I’M A GAY MAN Can you go a whole year without *** Nurse Turned away by the nurse I walk home dejected Reflecting on my body Dissect me, Nurse Coronal Sagittal Transverse You will find that We are one in the same kind Blood brothers Blood sisters Bathing in the same pool of life Swim Float Tread Cleanse in the blood bath But no The Nurse Pouring poisonous prosecutions into the placidity Leaves me to drown in the slimy slander “I am not poison! I am not less! I am not the labels you continuously condemn onto me!” Let me bleed for another’s breath Nurse, Look at the parched patients Surrounding this body of blood Vessels yearning, screaming to be quenched Blood Blood Blood Take me Use my healthy privilege So you can live another day Nurse, nurse, nurse Aid and AIDS Two separate entities Me Forced into association with the demon Promiscuous sodomites of hell I melt before you Provide the aid they need And Jesus said, “This is my blood of the covenant Poured out for many”

Take Me
The nurse glared at me With eyes Like needles tensing every muscle in my body Her voice projected “Within the past year, have you had *** with another man?” Do cows moo? Is water wet? I’M A GAY MAN Can you go a whole year without *** Nurse Turned away by the nurse I walk home dejected Reflecting on my body Dissect me, Nurse Coronal Sagittal Transverse You will find that We are one in the same kind Blood brothers Blood sisters Bathing in the same pool of life Swim Float Tread Cleanse in the blood bath But no The Nurse Pouring poisonous prosecutions into the placidity Leaves me to drown in the slimy slander “I am not poison! I am not less! I am not the labels you continuously condemn onto me!” Let me bleed for another’s breath Nurse, Look at the parched patients Surrounding this body of blood Vessels yearning, screaming to be quenched Blood Blood Blood Take me Use my healthy privilege So you can live another day Nurse, nurse, nurse Aid and AIDS Two separate entities Me Forced into association with the demon Promiscuous sodomites of hell I melt before you Provide the aid they need And Jesus said, “This is my blood of the covenant Poured out for many”
