Conversations With My Father 1

Conversations With My Father 1

A Poem by Lucas Jay

When my father found out I was gay

He looked at my mother and said

 

“Oh he is not.”

 

My mother looked at him

Wide-eyed in disbelief

 

“He’s got a boyfriend.”

 

His jaw slowly falls

To the hardwood floor

 

“Ohh.”

 

This is the last conversation

My sexuality will have

 

With my father.
