"heterosexual" poems
I hate how the words "Lesbian," "Gay," "Bisexual," et cetera Are thought of as bad words. It's like, oh, no, don't teach your little sister the word lesbian Don't tell her there are some girls who like other girls How inappropriate! It's like, oh, no, don't teach your little brother the word gay Don't tell him there are some boys who like other boys How disgusting! Don't let anyone under the age you deem appropriate know That there are people who aren't heterosexual Why? I can't possibly understand why. There is no reason for homophobia, not really. I saw a metaphor somewhere that went something like this: "I was in Subway, and I bought myself a ham sub. As I was paying, the man behind me bought a different sub than me, and I was immediately offended that he got a different sandwich." This is what it sounds like when people say homosexual people affect them. How do they affect you? Just because they don't love someone who is of the opposite *** Or just because they like both Or something else Just because of their ****** preference, no matter what it may be You think that gives you reason to hate them? Really? Just because they're different than the 'normal' you're used to? Normality is relative. You can't say it's not "normal." That is not a justified nor sensical argument. What is wrong with those people? Can't they just see past all their biases and realize that we're all people And we all deserve the same rights no matter who we're attracted to No matter who we kiss No matter who we touch No matter who we have *** with Is it really that difficult? **We're all humans when it comes down to it, and we all deserve the same rights. Everyone should be able to see that.** And you know what I wonder? Why are we voting on whether people deserve rights or not in the first place? And then there's people who act like homosexuality is a disease People who act like anyone who is anything but heterosexual is broken and needs to be fixed They're not broken. They don't need to be fixed. They are who they are, and the government shouldn't tell them what they can and cannot do Based simply and only on who they're attracted to. "You can't get married because you aren't straight." Do you realize how shallow that is? Do you? "You're disgusting because you aren't straight." Why? Why should it matter to you who they're in a relationship with? It's their life, their decision. No one ever asks heterosexual people why they're heterosexual. No one ever says, "Hey, when did you decide you were straight?" It's just ridiculous, and I'm fed up of it. "If gay marriage is legalized, more people will become gay." Oh, yeah, sure, of course, that will totally happen. Just like when African Americans were given rights Everyone decided they wanted to go out and become African American. Just like when women were given rights Everyone decided they wanted to go out and become female. People of all sorts of sexualities and preferences have grown up With mostly straight media everywhere It didn't "turn" them straight. So gay media won't "turn" anyone gay It won't hurt anyone if there's a gay couple in a commercial. Or a TV show. Or any other form of media. It makes me sick to think that just because of your personal opinion My friends who are not heterosexual would not be allowed to get married To the person that they love. Do you know what will happen if gay marriage is legalized? Gay people will get married. Why can't you just understand that it doesn't matter? Why should you care what they do? Why should you care who they like? It doesn't affect you. It doesn't change you. It's just giving LGBT people more control over their own lives. It's just giving LGBT people rights they should have had in the first place. Why?

Slipping stocking on silky smooth legs. Wanting and yearning to turn people's heads. Dressing up nice in a posh frock. Knowing people will judge, people will mock. Applying makeup like a pro, But needing to keep the status quo. Styling a wig to look like a girl. Feeling the butterflies, head in a whirl. Looking deep at the eyes reflected in the mirror. Where is the man? can just see a glimmer. Feeling for a moment that he does belong. Takes a deep breath, tries to stay strong. Feeling comfortable within his own skin. Just slightly visible, hair growth on his chin. He will not venture out as he's branded a freak. But really he's normal, maybe a bit weak. For if he goes out people think he is guy. He's just like me and you at the end of the day. Some think he's bisexuality, it's really unfair. He's just heterosexual with a little more flare. All he's ever wanted, is to be accepted. In this current decade still is rejected. If you gave him a chance you'd see he's real nice. His heart is so warm, not cold as ice. He loves with his heart, is caring and tender. Look deep within, he is only transgender.

I woke up, panic attack in full swing. This wasn't right. He wasn't supposed to win. This wasn't supposed to happen! Morning call to my best friend, we're sobbing into each other's phones. We fear. We fear because we're not cis or heterosexual. We fear for our brothers, sisters, and siblings lacking a title. I fear for what will become of the country I live in. I promise I wouldn't stand for my country's flag any more as long as he is our "president". I can't respect someone who is accused of ****** a 13 year old girl. He is no man, he was a joke for the Internet to feed off of, until it became too serious and real. Until the day youths of the LGBTQ+ community woke up terrified for their lives because his Vice President would favor having a dead child rather than a gay child, until the day Muslim women questioned if they should wear their hijab anymore because they feared retaliation for their religion from xenophobes, until the day the the chance of hate crimes seemed like a more likely answer for bigots because someone isn't white, until the day laughs of mockery turned into tears of fright. This monstrosity may only be with us for four years, but a hell of a lot can happen in four years. I don't trust this person to run our country, I don't feel safe. I feel exposed and abandoned by the rights I was promised. I wish to join hands with everyone else who is in my position, and let this sink in until the day in January comes, where he gets his wish, and is finally in control.

La Vie En Venus’ Flytrap
well... she didn't want me... because i didn't want to do **** with her... and because i cooked better than her; or as one homosexual said: **** *** isn't really the norm in homosexuality, most **** *** takes place between heterosexual couples; maybe i just don't feel like talking about curtains and napkins growing old in front of a television screen? i think it's called companionship, without the authority brigade to get alimony and other stipends for a degree designating milking-it... as might require a woman shackling a partner with a few witnesses, like priest, lawyer... psychiatrist; god they're scared... they don't even fear murdering you, and when they try to, they just bellow out: 'my brother is dead! my brother is dead!' no, he's alive, he should have been dead 8 years ago, but you miscalculated; they're just scared of something that doesn't resemble a cage, as every housewife might tell you: a duck in a cage kept for petting rather than sloth for quickened fattening and eating will make the one eating it loose the plot... the duck will just pretend to be stupid.

I remember the morning Tuesday was invented— how gleeful we sang across the streets— forgetting that the day after tomorrow would be Thor’s day and that one we didn’t own, too. I remember the bathroom stalls, the sins of Leviticus we survived comforting our confusion with the indulgence that God too love man, kind. *Let the purgatory full of half good men sing about their sins with pride and laugh at the moons and stars for being without limbs and tongues to protest their innocence and Idontgiveadamnisms;* For I remember being fed the tenets of heterosexual history in elementary school yet wondering why queer gods are the ones named after the planets.

Confliction
Click “Lowes, you can do it we can help” Click “Dolly comes with everything you see here including stroller, bottle, and bib” Click “Destroy your enemy with NERF guns” Click “Play kitchen with real opening oven and microwave, learn to become a mommy just like you’ve always wanted” Click We live in a free society, one where we are independent and free to make our own choices....right We live in a country where anyone can become anything.....don’t we? Then every time I turn on the TV why am I flooded with heteronormative racist propaganda? Why is my future daughter forced to work in a kitchen and take care of the baby from age 5 and up? Why is my future sun told to fight against the evil invaders with nerf guns? Why are my future neighbors portrayed as white people with picket fences and perfect lawns I sit down click after click white after white, heterosexual after heterosexual, gender role after gender role. Pounded into our heads, indoctrinated by elegantly crafted hate speech. Rhetoric that has become so naturalized it fails to be seriously questioned Well I will question it! I will look for answers I will not sit by and watch our youth be molded into perfect Americans by the “free market” I WILL STAND UP, AND I WILL MAKE CHANGE!

All this criticism, persecution, Hatred, scorn, Thrown towards us, Two women, Two men, Immoral relationship they say, Against God's word, That's not the way He wanted it, But one woman, two men, Two women, one man, Nothing's wrong with that, 16 year old teenage girl sleeping with the married man, Nothing's said about them, And if something's said, it's done in whispers, Rumshop or evening gossip, But me, Harsh words are thrown my way, No one cares about the tears they cause, But when the woman down the road slept with my ex-husband, I deserved it because I did not do enough to keep him, They say, But when I had a one night stand with the woman from the other town, Words were thrown my way, Why? Because when I have *** There's no product formed from the substrate, Or because when two products come together, there's no reaction, Othan than multiple ******* caused by erogenous pleasure, Or because I use toys, And you need none, Or is it because God made Adam and Eve, And destroyed ***** and Gomorrah, But he did not make Adam and Eve and the next door neighbour Steve, And last time I checked he was on the merge of destroying Nineveh.

They say, That relationships like mine add nothing to society, But relationships like yours cause fatherless homes, Contributing to prostitution and gang wars, Or multiple abortions before the age of 25, Talking about my acts of erogenous pleasure causing no reaction, no creation, But relationships like yours cause abortions, Destruction of life, right in the middle of creation, You call it abortion I call it ****** Termination of life, So who's the criminal?

To be brown is to know racism in every shade - internal, or external, microaggression or aggression. To be brown is an inquisition, every time you step foot outside – *“What are you?” “What does your name mean?” “Have you tried that restaurant?” “Have you been back? “What religion are you?” “Say something in your language!”* To be brown is the shame of either too much or not enough, that you try to press down, ignore, forget about - don’t be so sensitive. To be brown is an investment, the way you are always supposed to rise and rise and rise, have the opportunities of the west and the values of the east, marry a nice brown heterosexual, go to graduate school, have a good career, earn more money than your parents did, be safe and settled, provide for your parents, your parents, who only pressure you and push you because they want you to be happy. To be brown is diaspora, the way your tongue trips over the words of native languages you never grew up speaking because English was always taught first to generations before you, the way you weren’t born with any real community, and even now most of your friends are white, the way you have to move in the world hearing your name mispronounced in every way imaginable, the way you scan the room for any brown face because you know a brown person will understand, the way you realize how often you are the only brown body in any space, queer or straight, the way you really are a minority. To be brown is reclamation, the way you learn to find beauty in the brown and the hair and the body type, the way you learn to let yourself feel Anger at appropriation, the way you learn to fight for identity – correct the mispronunciations learn the language, listen to the music, cook the food, wear the clothes, go back to the country learn the history, do what you need to do in your imperfect perfect way, **** what anyone says. To be brown is to be enough.

*White. Female. Middle Class. Heterosexual. Agnostic. Libertarian.* Yeah. That's me. That's that first layer, thin as the paper you could read it on. Just a Jane Doe, a nameless, faceless demographic. But peeling back the layers, ripping through page on page of a complicated novel, digging down into a bottomless hole to China, unravelling the intricate web of stereotypestruthsliesassumptionsprejudice and there you will find me, a colorless genderless asexual spirit whose frame is crafted and molded not with how the world chooses to see me and who "they" deem me to be; no. A guy that didn't know me well once told me that I spoke more urban than he expected, and I couldn't help but wonder why someone from an urban area couldn't speak like they were from a city, like somehow what he saw in my whitefemaleheterosexualmiddleclassagnosticlibertarian prologue forbade me from speaking in colloquials and abbreviations. Oh, I apologize, I laughed later to my friend, **law students are supposed to speak with an ostentatious vocabulary and an heir of (superfluous) arrogance.** I am rarely a prototype of what it means to be White, of what it means to be female; middle-class or not, my parents insisted at age 8 that I begin to understand the value of a dollar; my sexuality indicates little about my level of attraction to the world around me; agnostic is really just a term I put because I'm still trying to figure out whether I really believe everything I was forced to learn at Catholic school; and isn't Libertarian just a fancy word for I don't want to choose liberal or conservative? It's insulting to ingest how much is insinuated about my depth in the shallowest of pools. My cheeks burn hot with frustration as I try to balance on a beam cracking underneath the weight of a world that is constantly begging me to go back in the neatly wrapped package from which the world would prefer I came. I'm not someone you can put in a ******* box and label; you can't contain my shine behind blackout blinds; I will burst out of your bubble and break your glass ceilings; I will scream at the top of my lungs in a soundproof room until you HEAR me. I'm not meant to be judged by my cover, and neither are you. We are meant to be read.

She frolicked through trouble, and dandled with mischief. Alison Wonderland; everything I wished I was and so much more. Ever emanating her doe-eyed façade; proclaiming our jests mere “mischief.” Yet, an unspoken verdict (Foretaste? Conception? Notion?) had cloaked the truth: wickedness rippled beneath our parade. I nuzzled her contours; my peripheral eye – nailed to her profile, her blueprints, her chassis. I stalked her mirage – dancing with vapor. She glissaded about, no fool to my truth, varnishing my mantle. I belonged to Alison: perpetually at her side. Our couplet became a “we.” So, We regretted nothing. We veered for the pyre: caroming(skimming?) those embers alit with vice. She narrated my mental seminar. Discarding my dogmas to uphold her own; and thus, my mind was hers. My mind was her mind. Alison made heads turn, and mouths water, as we sidled – hand in hand – down the street. She was my Christmas morning: each colloquium – giftwrapped with finesse. She personified paradise, she illustrated utopia. Hatching our Carnival; netting us, enamored, sidling the Carousal. We’d skim, we’d sail, her halo – my fossil. Her lips, her eyes, her hands… they echoed the innocence of a child. Niave, innocent, and giftwrapped in wonder. Little Miss Wonderland: my very own fairytale. She was mine alone; she was mine to keep. Did I want her, or did I want to be her? Alison Wonderland. Her aura – so celestial – paralleled my prose. When she banished my husk – Maple Thatcher – I cackled good riddance… And I grew a new personality to accommodate her own. For, without Ali – devoid of our we – I doubted the very existence of me. On my composition, she bestowed rhythm. She gave tune to my silence; her chimes, her cadence. My ink was her song – fusing a symphony. A symphony of Alison: the melody to solidify our tryst. My mind was her mind. And yet… somehow, I missed a carriage – or two – aboard her train of thought. For, the same felon spiting my existence, was the angel I loved to life. Gladly, I huffed, and I puffed, and I blew Maple down. Fused against Alison, I needed none of Maple. Carnival infatuations… Alison Wonderland.

Gladly, I huffed, and I puffed, and I blew Maple down. Fused against Alison, I needed none of Maple. Carnival infatuations… Alison Wonderland.

I've been looking for an escape for 3810 days still there's no way out. Once you're in, you're in. Don't even try to shout. That's when time stops and all eyes are on you. The crowd draws closer to you and closer to you, until you can't breathe. They will mound it on your chest, stich it in your heart, burn it into your mind. Your label Your creed. Mine is still undetermined. There's too many flaws to choose from, but trapped is the most popular one. I am trapped in an invisible straight jacket due to my wild imagination. I am trapped, forced to listen to lies. I am trapped in a bubble of isolation. I refuse to listen to the lies I was told in the world I lived in at age four, where the biggest let down was if I didn't get a cookie. There was no such thing as war, but that world was taken from me, just as I was taken from them. Now I'm trapped in a world where no one listens. No one will listen to me, when I got trapped here I was that idiot who shouted and now they think I'm crazy. Well I'm not!....Okay, okay, okay, a little insane maybe. Yet it makes me stronger. It's my tool to survive even longer, longer than I should have to live. They keep me trapped here because apparently I have so much love to give, but I will give and I will give until I run out. Then go back to stage one... Try not to shout. But until then I'm trapped in a world where pretty seems better, in a world where heterosexual is the norm. I'm trapped in a world where my heart has been shattered, stomped on, and torn. Here.... it's here out of all places in the universe, it's here that I am TRAPPED

As a man A heterosexual man I felt comfortable making the decision with her To voluntarily share one of the most important tools for human flourishment At 16 But as a man A heterosexual man I  get uncomfortable at the notion Of telling my best friend of 10 years That I love him at 21 Unless we're both in a drunken stupor Or a tragedy permits such vernacular Am I a real man? Do I stand rooted In a twined thicket of contexuality Or is my purpose on the course of infinity

The Fragility of Male Virginity
I like you and you like me. So there’s just one thing to do– or two, or three. It’s true we’re probably not compatible as you’re not so much the intellectual but the main point is that we’re both heterosexual. So come on over, I like the way you talk. You like the way I jiggle. I like the pic you sent me of your…. Make it sooner, I don’t have much time. And I know that you’ll never be mine. But thinking of you makes me quiver. I only hope I’m not promising more than I can deliver.

Heterosexual
Life was an upward battle Of intense personal frustration, As we were treated like cattle With unabashed discrimination. And those of us who existed Without rights or respect We had a stronger hope Than we had reason to expect. When some of us reminded Jesus said love your brother They made up ***** jokes Used ugly names of our mothers. Some invented a phrase to use That said God Hates ******* They seemed to imply that God Treated some children like maggots. Rights were something given At birth to regular human beings To other people who were living But justice we were not seeing Because justice was not for us It was for heterosexual whites. The rest of us had few rights. True, it was not legal to **** us But in court things went elsewise. Police and judges carried on And covered their acts with lies. With them bad could be good. They behaved themselves oddly Jailing and imprisoning us Claiming it was all very godly. And, today, with communication Such an instantaneous entity Things have gotten a bit better. We’re still surrounded by enemy That quotes a bible they don’t read And block those any attempt to heal Wanting instead to make hatred And legal discrimination real. Brent Kincaid 4/7/2015

USA Nineteen Fifties
Love is not a sin So why is being gay a sin? Why is being lesbian a sin? Why is being anything other than heterosexual a sin? Love is not a sin So why do we treat gay guys holding hands like a disease? Why do we treat transexuals like they shouldn't exist? Why do we treat people badly just because they chose to be who they are? Love is not a sin Do I have to say this again?!? LOVE IS NOT A SIN Being yourself is not a sin Do you really want to know what's really a sin? Pretending to be what you're not That is the real sin

It's not a sin
If the Messiah they need is a woman Convince them only men are holy. If the Messiah they need is black Convince them only white is holy If the Messiah they need is same gender loving or non-binary Convince them only heterosexual is holy If the Messiah they need is proud Convince them only humility is holy If the Messiah they need holds knowledge in their left hand Convince them the right hand is holy If the Messiah they need has a ten point plan of righteously defending one's self Convince them that the only holy answer is nonviolence. If they ever one day happen to believe that they can define: Self By Self Through Self Of Self Convince them that holiness is only attainable through a message and belief of: Holy and selective Prosperity Holy and selective Favoritism Holy and selective Elitism If they ever happen to look in the mirror and one day love all that they see Convince them that the holy standards of beauty deems every and all that makes them what they are ugly If they ever happened to one day realize that the Messiah that they need is within all of them as a United People Convince them that the holy Messiah can only lay in one person per generation and then publicly assassinate the person that they believe Or you have chosen To be their Messiah. © Christopher F. Brown 2018

The Wormwood Memos
They tried so hard to banish me To eternal non-entity; They resented my voice They denied me a choice; I had to be the type of soul Adhering to their own goals. The don’t care what we suffer They speechify and don’t stutter. They haven’t been secretive About the way they’d have me live. They bellow and bawl their mind And little of it is anything kind. They have no obvious compunction Behind their every injunction. They point and label me something odd, Invoke a two thousand year-old god. They drape themselves in our flag And shout names like queer and *** And tell us we are abominations Not fit to live in Christian nations But they forget that we all free To choose what our religion will be. In truth, they do not seem to care About anyone’s opinion but theirs. The hardest thing of all to bear Is for all the venom they share Is that this country has rules That they ignore by being fools. They want the right to tell us all Who we can bring with us to the ball And who we can love or marry. What a heinous load for us to carry. There may be nothing quite as egregious As a congressman all sanctimonious Who tells us we must not disparage The sanctity of heterosexual marriage Whether is his bride number three or four That’s exactly what the Christianity is for Because didn’t Jesus himself say He didn’t want no homos today?

Ad Homunculus
lurking in every place that others, who also  pose as poets, lurk in--disguised as human beings--rather ineffectively. Not even as good at deception as terrorists do but they do manage easily to deceive themselves.. Writing in simplistic rhymes,their inexperienced and shallow observations, that are made with the blindfold of truth over their eyes. Pretententious juvenile and middle aged posturers, that write excretable  prose about their shallow juvenile longings, to possess another completely,and always call it " love poetry". Begging for a mummy or daddy figure to "love" them, and thereby give their miserable existences value and validation,energy-sucks one and all . Crying out in immature and verbally comatose stanzas, insisting that they are not to blame, not me guv!--never met him before!, can I hand you another nail?.. Still afraid of the "roaming soldiers" in our midst, the paramilitaries of the Oligarchies that rule everywhere. On their knees beseeching the one they met momentarily, and who has walked away from them, heaving with laughter at their chauvinism and sexism and lack of integrity and lack of truthfulness. Begging their various "gods" and "goddesses"to return to their grasping and possessive conditional love the *** object that rfejects them.. "Poets"(very few of them here and I am not a "poet") expose these thieves of others integrity and truthfulness,to the ridicule they deserve, for trying to twist the shining shimmering slender thread of unconditional love into a for life shackle of the conditional attachment that they call love . Whether they be Heterosexual or Homosexual/Lesbian or Bisexual is if no account to these testosterone  fuelled inhabitants of the ****** free zone. "Be all mine" they cry out piteously. "You cant leave me like this" they cry unceasingly as if some fictional "god"or "goddess" will fasten the shackle around the "beloveds" ankle. What a lot of horse **** to dip your quill into.

Love is love, but what do we see? Something less than equality. We walk around with closed minds, closed hearts, feeling that differences could tear us apart. I, for one, hate what society has pressed upon me. That it's not ok for me to be me. And yet, here I am. I'm still proud. No matter what they say, I won't stand down. I was raised by a rainbow family and now I'm part of the community. I was welcomed by open minds and open hearts, people that knew how to play their part in making me feel comfortable with who I am. This wasn't a choice. I wae born this way. And I wouldn't do it differently. Asexual, pansexual, polysexual, demisexual, bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual. Why does it even matter? Where you are in this list, who you love, shouldn't even matter. And yet, it does. These titles often determine whether or not we can even associate with someone. This just shouldn't be the case. Judgements like these are way below second rate. You should be free to openly love or not love whoever you want. Not go hiding from petty little taunts. Love is a broader scope than most would believe. And why is it the man that's down on one knee? Why is it when the step could be either's, we still encounter the firm believers? The one's who say this is for him or her, who from old traditions will not differ. With each generation, the times are changing, yet the vast majority of society still tries to hold the reins. They create boxes, cage us within ourselves. When what we want is to be able to be held by the ones we love without a price. There shouldn't be a sacrifice. Is it ok for you to love who you do? Are you happy with them or are you blue? If they bring you happiness, then my answer is yes. Stand tall, keep your head up, and be proud of who you are. If you fall, get back up, and remember to reach for the stars. Those who do not believe in the freedom of love are ignorant. I do not appreciate your incompetence. Love is love, and what do we need? A world full of understanding.
