Re: Satire

Two years later

Mom just stared at me

How would you feel? You have no idea what it's like to be a gay man. 

Ironically you're not fully wrong

Happiness is fleeting 

A man? I quite am. 

That half of me knows it well

Well, er-

better than a wall flower watching

I know that action is the act beyond the orient 

a voided back alley tax receipt

a recipe for orientation from a plantation

disaster left behind the trade platform

A man is a man no matter who he sees

I've lived with teasing uncertainty, questioning, doubt

associated with a deep resonating fear

just say it

come out and say it

this is who I am

Further being made fun of for it

perceived as a threat when the problem is perception

you can't uncolor rose glasses with rainbows

or with flags

seen only as is 

not the in-depth hard hitting reality under the surface of the moon

I am faust

frost, fastily hasty stare

piqed in a hidden proverbial closet 
I don't look for it, the door on either side

built on headlines after headlines

I'd mourn suicides over and over

but nobody is acting like they give a s**t

acting and reacting all up in arms but doing nothing

I do though, I mourn the dead
