Thoughtful Gay Oddysseys
If they don't win,
the red home might
click off the TV
for a family
meeting.
Women should
not be in charge
of men,
especially
a brown one.
I'm not saying
you should hate,
but this is wrong.
Don't use
the bathrooms
in Portland or Seattle,
you might get attacked
by a man in a dress.
Now, go put on
your Sunday
clothes.
We're going
to get through
with a potluck
and prayer.
God will protect us
these next four years,
don't be afraid.
God will find
a way out of
this mess for us.
If they don't win,
the blue home might
burst with panic attacks,
haircuts, masks,
thick scarves and skirts,
jeans or not jeans,
no more talking in public,
definitely no holding hands,
don't ever let your plane
layover in TX or FL
because you
can't use the bathroom
without fear
of impossible debt,
arrest, or death.
Don't confront anyone
on the streets, consider
if we should
buy mace,
talk to our kid
about safety rules
so we all know
what to do
in case of an earthquake
or a nazi,
go to the bathroom
but in groups,
don't go downtown
after 4pm or at all,
scan everyone
on the street,
don't let people
walk behind you
even if it's
at a distance,
veer to safety
just in case
that stranger
hates you.
Count Down
