ego

What spins my head only bruises your ego-
And you call it a wound.
Dressed in a bowtie and tails maybe-
dancing with the wall flower
Caught in a bathroom stall.

But me, I am left fishing what’s left of
The instrument others may call heart-
I affectionately refer to as air-
out of the sewer
as if bringing in the catch of a lifetime
Somehow laughing.
The punch line of yet another tasteless joke,
Masquerading as my choices.

The sense it never makes starts flooding me
And being filled with the knowing is my warmth.
I trace the last letter of the word crazy
Over and over and over…
Until sleep creeps in my window
In tired haggard like a long lost friend

and I embrace him
With a little iced tea and a walk on the board.

Ah, when life was simpler.
Before the wet of your mouth filled mine like the comforting taste of home
as I discern the flavors of the breakfast she fed you
After you rolled out of her bed at 4am…


I always served you tea.

out and proud

Actually, what I meant to say was a bit more direct than that-
What I mean is- How is it that people can stand on religious principle when it comes to whom one loves regarding body parts- yet, throw doctrine out the window for say- fornication or drinking or being unequally yoked ( as if that actually pertains exclusively to what religion you were born into when I like to believe it can as well mean ground as common as intelligence, beit emotional or intellect)
So- I personally don't feel that a government that kills innocent people for a lie- should care if men are bonin' men or women are munchin' carpet. WTF? No really- what kind of effing hypocrisy are we subscribing to?
Do we really care if two people who love eachother want to have hot, nasty, sex in their shower for the rest of their lives? ( or until the next one comes along just like the rest of us do…) Actually- I don't give a rats ass who you are bonin! I do get turned on by the thought that you're doing it well tho. I think the world could use a hell of a lot more damn good, mind blowing sex.
That's all I was getting at. Why do we care?
( A guy actually told me the other day that he thought legalizing gay marriage would be bad for the economy and the government needs to put a stop to this shit right now... He is a gay basher, but he just tried to package it in a way that might make it seem it wasn't a prejudice, but a public service. )
I get excited when I see these baby steps- but I get infuriated that the politics of gay rights is even in our vocabulary when we do have a separation of church and state and people aren't walking around all in a huff about the other 612 mosaic laws in the Old Testament. ( No there weren't just 10.) Hey- law number 287 says women can't wear pants; I thought ALL sin was the same in the eyes of God.

I'm just sayin.
