See it on the street
teeth
hand-holding 2 folk.

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.

big yes laying here
with you
problems erased.
the date is for us
it’s you I trust
see you in my minds eye
this feeling won’t lie
your smile contagious
it’s kinda outrageous
we picked each other
in my crystal ball.

felt underwater
the tide won’t change
is love in my range?

we’re here
who is we?
I’m still trying to find my way
still?
I thought I had it but shit happened
you still stepping right?
I’m over 40 and not the greatest
well shit, not many are. What else?
I want to know love
ok, do you love yourself?
sometimes
and?
There’s work to do I know
I’m here and I’m never leaving
no question mark needed.

what would I do without thee
don’t want to count the ways
hope you’re here for the majority
of my days
love, your son.

I should be happy
bills paid, lil money in the bank
but I don’t feel like I’m living.
existing, yes
universe, do you need a pencil sharpener?

the feeling of being in your feelings
not quite sad, not quite glad
existing in between

the phone is not charged
no music
my twin looks great with braids
i have no hair
that Chinese food dinner i was craving
streaming service got the money early
that beautiful man with a nice smile
just opened the door for his wife
my favorite white T-Shirt
mistakenly washed with the color clothes
that kid I couldn’t wait to have
just painted my living room with chalk
I’m going to take a nap in the car on DND
because I’ll be better than ok.

traveling from state to state
there’s no debate
dropping those draws
nameless and shameless
one life to live
can you give some grace?
I didn’t learn the right way
relationships never smooth they say
so I go from bed to bed
hoping to heal the dead
monotony inside of me
judge if you must
but trust I’m having a great time
or am I lying?
