"queers" poems
That relatable gay dream of running away, Wind blowing through what's left of your hair, the first ties to be cut. That relatable gay fear, questions you'd rather not asked and that subsequent relatable gay sorrow after the answers. That relatable gay loneliness, all hollow spaces and devoted secrecy. Bitten back tongues and hidden colors. That relatable gay moment of finding love in your friends. Not the kind that you kiss but the kind you hold dear in the night, as tears drip from cheeks to shoulders. That relatable gay plan of holidays with your other gay friends, a real family, the one who would love you no matter what. Cheers and queers and all too far away. That relatable gay longing for love- true love- Like the kind they never show in fairytales, Real and supportive, never hidden away or forgotten. That relatable gay anger, Boiling from injustice always under the surface, Waiting to erupt in pointless shouts of grief for a world that was not built for me. That relatable gay exhaustion, hostile slurs and benignant apathy blending together into a reality of unending fights just to keep on existing. So when someone asks me what makes you a community I show them all those relatable gay moments of anguish and loss, of solemn support and stolen minutes. And I tell them of how terrible it is that they are so very relatable, But how wonderful it is that we could at least live through them together.

That Relatable Gay Moment
America the great? No, America is hate. Divided by supremacy yet, we're called "United" States. The unfortunate reality but, I still have faith that we'll get through this together, that we'll make it through these days. Through all these mixed emotions I just want to say, this is what it's come to and NO, IT'S NOT OKAY. To all my people who are hurting, I feel you & your pain. This is "America" & it's a ******* disgrace. To Mexican & African Americans & gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, I pray. Muslims, queers, intersexuals, stay safe. Asexuals, low income, & women, have strength. To all the disabled and victims of **** & to those that suffer from constant dismay, I feel for you, I feel your pain. Through love and unity our strength shall remain.

2016 Elections
In my perfect little world, people greet, they kiss and hug each time they meet . There are no tears nor fears and everyones okay with queers. But in the world today, we just don’t care, and showing love is somewhat rare. When times are fun all friends are near, then things get tough most of them disappear. In my perfect little world, we give and share; we make it a point, to show we care. We live to love, and love to live, and find it easy to forgive. But in the world today we strive on greed, and crave the things we rarely need. We step on others to get our way, so were let alone to pay. In my perfect little world, children smile, and parents go that extra mile. No child is ever harmed or hurt, abused or treated just like dirt. But in the world today most people cry and only pray in case they die. We’ve given in to all that’s bad, and then complain that life is sad In my perfect little world were all the same and life is not a spiteful game. People are loyal, honest and just, and value the gift of friendship and trust. But in the world today it seems, we’ve lost all hope or goals and dreams. Malicious acts are seen as witty, I think it’s sad and such a pity.

Utopia
I walked into the cocktail party room and found three or four queers talking together in queertalk. I tried to be friendly but heard myself talking to one in hiptalk. "I'm glad to see you," he said, and looked away. "Hmn," I mused. The room was small and had a double-decker bed in it, and cooking apparatus: icebox, cabinet, toasters, stove; the hosts seemed to live with room enough only for cooking and sleeping. My remark on this score was under- stood but not appreciated. I was offered refreshments, which I accepted. I ate a sandwich of pure meat; an enormous sandwich of human flesh, I noticed, while I was chewing on it, it also included a ***** ******* More company came, including a fluffy female who looked like a princess. She glared at me and said immediately: "I don't like you," turned her head away, and refused to be introduced. I said, "What!" in outrage. "Why you ********* fool!" This got everybody's attention. "Why you narcissistic ***** How can you decide when you don't even know me," I continued in a violent and messianic voice, inspired at last, dominating the whole room.

In Society
I died on a Tuesday and found my way in the news Caught between a commercial and karaoke singing girl Was the appearance of the killer but they only had his shoes I approached the desk and rang a little bell Saint Peter took out a pen, found my name and said "You're not on the list, you must be looking for Hell." I tried to appeal for trial in Heavenly Courtroom Twelve Judge Jesus and Judy had to declare a hung jury And during recess I had to find a bed in Purgatory Hotel In Room 237, I met a man named Avery He was a little cynical and said that this was typical That "it took them 18 years to finally save me." In the morning I finally I got to hear the verdict Led by a jury of peers such as writers and queers They said hell awaits those whose life isn't worth it

this is for the queer kids who are taught their ABC's but not their L's, G's, B's and T's for the Russian government and the I.O.C who deny Russian queers their visibility to the people who call me ****** i wear your name-calling like a pink triangle stitched to my sleeve for the Harvey Milk's, the Christine Burns' and every queer in between to the allies who do more than say "your sexuality is okay with me" for the Jamaican trans* teen who was murdered needlessly to the television networks who portray LGBT individuals positively for the radical queers the POC queers the genderqueers the queers who have felt excluded this is for you for us this is a celebration and an ultimatum we are here we are queer & we will do more than survive.

The Australian Thirteens (after Maya Angelou)
In highschool I thought I liked girls I thought it wasn't right, to even look that if I tried it would be different, abnormal I didn't know it was okay To want to kiss another girl To touch another girl That it would be a violation I wouldn't be liked back I thought I had to be a certain way dress a certain way act a certain way I didn't wear make up, but also didn't wear masculine clothing I was just me I got stares from butch lesbians that were in gangs I was frightened and alone "What are you staring at?" if I looked back Looks based off of intimidation this wasn't me, this wasn't it I tried to date men, same ole same ole video games, boredom, not having drive it wasn't interesting, it wasn't making my heart race going through one motion to another I tried. I was told that I was just making it up That I was pretending That I was doing it for attention Fantasizing about female celebrities if only I then came out to myself dated a girl who wasn't a girl he was genderqueer he was trans and it all began I was attracted to beyond the gender binary 2 dollar margarita nights at the gay bar in New York queers stumbling, fumbling, sweating, dancing going outside to just light a cigarette for some pretty girl connect with eyes just to talk just to have a connection Turns to quick ****** experiences With a blink of an eye She kisses me, she wants me She want's go further That wasn't me I don't know you you don't know my heart Then I met you Wrong pronouns at the grocery store No correction, you know who you are Questions on identification, even at the gay bar It's okay, you understand Under the Christmas lights of my room in my bed with your smell left in my sheets I'm so happy, I'm filled with joy Tears rushing down my face I can't believe I'm in love

They were like two peas in a pod Holding hands Exchanging tongues Being prissy and laughing at those Who long before saw their act Though those two queers, they don’t see at all They are midgets, and little, and erectly small With puffed up chests Stroking hens of the Cornish variety All of them dregs of a social society Slum lords and criminal minds Under the sheets where no one sees Which one is giving the other the shaft **** and span they use after, oh so daft One erotically whispered to the other A Pain in the *** As they kissed over their biblical wine glass Seeking solace in each others arms Licking their wounds with grammars charm Grown men, committing sin after sin Then blaming others for saying God wants you to begin Acting like men And not emancipated boys Stop diddling and twiddling Leave alone your petite toys One day Jehovah will make clear Belittle others is worse than Queer Little queens swallowing their own vile While Ladies and Gentleman laugh At the ****** and the Clown In their lingerie and gown God decried, let those two drown Even Lucifer laughed under his frown

Don't you like my sass? - Why is that ****** Fruitcake? Because I tell you where you'll go? You'll go to Hell and burn, and your poetry forgo - When's this going to be?

Fearless
In her eyes you can see death himself smiling back at you telling you a date. She has no clue i say in my mind, not but one clue!. She goes with him only wanting his eyes, they're bodies soon lay in **** sweat. The wind cooled off the room, and soon everything was quite. Hello? sounds a faint voice of a british school girl in search of her Rolling stone father. He left with cold war and the silence lasted long. Her tender eyes met his one day, old and frail. He died knowing she stood for everything she stood for; Love,hate,war,fight, *** and the slightest thought of Homosexuality, yes ADONAL Homosexuality. She walked the lonesome evening with the icy fear of death but it hit her other wise- she died hopping to find her old father humble and beautiful in the night. HEaven smelt of jazz and Claire de lune, the gods played Mingus for days and then some rock and roll, HA! devils music they called it. Where are we? and god said, you are in my hunting ground for bad men wanting the clouds. sure its a beautiful place but its hot here, its uncomftorable for me. Please believe me like all the other poor ******** who did. All those idiots and stupid folk queers, rapists, phycos , Negros and the Notorious white man himself… believe me. How else would you live without dying? this gives me comfort for all else is but a ******* lie and a promise i have made to you, i will not die? ******** Is this why we have religion? to comfort man from the thought of death? Stop breathing on me.

Alphabet People and Others
Late morning after dreaming of these hand-written Alaskan three-dollar bills Polaroid photographs of empty silver screens hidden elevator button escape routes mid-performance ****** reconstructions I half-wake from my half-sleep and in seventy-five-cent consciousness beg the man of my waking misconceptions to meet for one more one more double latte Marlboro 27 kiss behind the parking lot than we’d ever had before we part again and he will reunite with his lunchmeat of holiday hopes and aspirations And I will return to the land of brotherless love and flaming heterosexuals the land of ugly **** and self-righteous queers the land where there is no God because I chased him from the West before he could do me harm the land filled with my pity and inebriated mindless self-perpetuation the land consumed with no passion because the Yukon’s landscape eyes are bleak and empty the land where the only direction is floating down-river to the blood-stained rocks of our maturity still within my mental prison with my other mental inmates and mental shanks and ***** I dream again with my eyes wide open and lips drawn in two-tier lonely grimace dream of the blue green red-eyed beauty that I have never known

I grew up on heroes old and new Thinking there was no wrong they could do But get rid of rose glasses and they're the worst And I woke up to a clergy that turned. out to be cursed Now I can't trust people I see On the internet or TV Because half of my childhood celebrities Turned out to be pedos, grifters, and Nazis Some times you have to let your heroes die Give a wave and a nod goodbye Send them off with a middle finger up And hope next time you have better luck Can't trust the storytellers that made your fantasies They want you and queers like you deceased Can't play pretend in a superheroes game When all the directors fund your personal bane I wouldn't trust the beliefs that raised me Because I've grown old enough to peek and see That its foundations are corrupted by empire One more genocide and I'll set the **** pulpit on fire Some times you have to let your heroes die Give a wave and a nod goodbye Push them away from who you see And rethink all those memories I once trusted some political heads Thinking they had good interests in their stead But red or blue they all bomb and starve and censor Now I have to try to get my own beliefs and center I blindly trusted the medical process Until I saw prejudice and the reproducibility crisis I blindly followed the worship of success and riches Until I saw the dead that world left in the ditches Some times you have to let your heroes die Give a wave and a nod goodbye Shoot them yourself if that's what you need Because how else can you move on and succeed History was taught to me in one way Every account matching up to the day But I looked back and saw a library Of stories the classroom never did see The people who raised me said they were saints And that's the picture their friends all paint But get home at night and you'll find out What the kids don't know to talk about Some times you have to let your heroes die Give a wave and a nod goodbye Never look back for a second glance Don't give the ******* another chance Some times you have to let your heroes die Give a wave and a nod goodbye Because if power corrupts and they're infested Don't reminisce long enough to get invested Some times you have to let your heroes die Give a wave and a nod goodbye Throw down your celebrities and your idols Be your own hero and disregard titles

Hero's Death

The way I expressed it didn’t fully Make sense to my dearest Who only likes men. I’ve never prescribed to the scrutiny Eyes of jocks eyeing us as they do p*rn. I used to see red as a fad that had past and a warning that I’m Not desired; Nor will be, no matter my try. But I’m realizing now, Want is deeper than thou who have wanted me only in theory. Fruity or trans, and the girlfriend I have, each is queer and there’s something more in it: Queers see women the same way they view art pieces; So I’ve always been Venus and Ophelia, The Lady of Shallot— not some acquiescent cool-girl who’ll answer your questions of p*bic hair and fair children. Where a woman I knew sees a woman as through some man’s eyes focused on her bre*sts— I cut a fringe for the change, And remain soft in shape For these are a lover’s desires: Wear your identity on your sleeve, In the curve of your arm, on the scent of your hair and upon the pendant at your neck. Like the romantics do in literature; After de-centering men, You can finally be free.

Nelumbo nucifera
I woke up to put beer in my Cereal, Walked outside nothin' but my cowboy boots and cowboy hat, Hungover from last night, I pumped my 12 to all the leftover beer cans, and watched that **** explode! I hop in my lifted truck to pick up some buds and some Reds, Killing Beers and Slaying Queers, I love life and 'Merica

'Merica
Bellicose beer-belled bad-asses Bawdily belting down brewskies Usually, boozily, bruisily beating On weaker, sleeker funseekers In the bar where they are, far From anything like maturity Hip hip hooray for unhip USA. Ballyhooing big screen viewing Myopic eyes watch others exercise Freedom-hating grouch on a couch Itching, ******** psoriasis and sloth Unread armchair Brother of the Cloth. One of the minions of opinions, Hardened against morality, reality. Saying it every day: USA, USA, USA! Hating, bating, aggravating, skating Right past solutions, conclusions Preferring propaganda, ***** Miranda, Stop mollycoddling, bottling up anger Christ in the manger should be law But they guffaw at reading The Book; They took their religion from TV. Freedom for me, not thee, in my USA. Got mine, ***** yours, rights immune; That tune don’t play here. No queers No browns, yellows, Hindus or Jews. I’ve got news you can use, I abuse And oppress guys in a dress, yes! Even if he’s white, it still ain’t right. The Constitution is old, it just teases. Mine is Republican Jesus for the USA. A pigeon for old time religion and God Everyone else is odd. I saw the movie. It was groovy and pretty. Went to the city Saw it in Imax, no blacks in the theater Thanks to The Creator that gave us all The intelligence to call things right. Hip hip hooray for being lily white. Hip hip hooray for the KKK USA.
