An Attack; An Invitation; A provocation; Speaking Out; Giving Voice

This is a poem for straight people

Straight men, mostly

Take that back:

Only, not mostly

I know some of you

Posting in this space

There are also the lucky few

(It may be you)

Yes, you

That are so very dear to me

So. Very. Dear.

Most of you I just don’t know

That’s ok.


In any case

Just wanted to let you know:

I get it.

You love her.

And you’ll do anything for her

Blah blah blah

We’ve heard it a million times

The same old song

A million different ways

(Thanks, Stephin Merrit)

Would you give up your sense of manhood?

Small chance.
