What fears have you overcome and how?
the fear of being queer
had me in a chokehold
but i persevered
friends helped a lot
not the show
that’s not how my life goes
stronger now in who I’ve become.

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
they say rearranging 27 things
lifts stagnancy
so a simple thing that I do to bring joy
is to rearrange my apartment.
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
the world is getting too loud
have to make my heart and mind proud
go underground
read more, pray more
i feel that’s what the universe is asking for

Do you remember life before the internet?
Ahhh, yes.
When kids played outside until the street lights came on.
When embarrassments were kept for holidays with family and not brought up on a cell phone at any chance.
No highlight reels to compare your life to.
You also had to wait for the radio to play your favorite song, that’s if you didn’t have the cd or cd single.
When Columbia House and BMG was the main music supplier.
A different world indeed.
When
What are you good at?
I’d like to think
that my head game is great
and almost always garners a 2nd,3rd or 4th
date.

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
this queer boy
who is still figuring it out
always had doubts
who has it all?
and is that what I want
depends on your definition of all
friends, family, fame, sex all the time
have enough kids to keep the family line?
the answer is I haven’t decided.
What personal belongings do you hold most dear?
looking through books
smiles across my face
shared memories
with many people
photographs I hold dear.
What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
he took care of himself
he took care of others
he gave the best head
and didn’t look down on others
his mug can look mean
sometimes he worked like a machine
his heart was gold
thank you Marcus for sharing
your light.

How do you feel about cold weather?
there was once a boy
who made snow angels
hoping that angels become real
to keep snow you gotta keep it cold
you can add layers to warm up
if you so choose.
It’s my preference
having it be
that sometimes I don’t like me
wears you down
because I don’t frown
put on a smile
I’m getting better
