blessed are those pouring spirits
admittedly,
i'm new at binge partying.
a practice
long injected into the gay community
by bar owners
and
guilt enablers alike.
back when i first came out,
you could almost
cut a knife
through the alcohol laced air,
wafting from
any gay bar everywhere.
then came
the dreaded thinning of the herd.
as all
the really pretty ones
dropped like
one too many discouraging words
out of
a presidents mouth.
still
we endeavored to pierce our ears,
tattoo ourselves,
and
power down beers.
as if
nothing was going to come between us
and centuries of
prayed upon fears.
so i waited and watched and waited some more
to see
just how far gay whores
can work sores
untill
their market value scores
under
what is an except-able loss.
as some
headed straight for a cross.
others tossed
and went right on squealing
about
some hot dudes package on
who's the boss.
now
my back hurts.
not from carrying the weight of your gay purse.
but
several motorcycle accidents
so i lightly curse
as i too
power down pacfico's
figuring
waiting almost sixty years
was worth
the insight coupled with
what i consider
my own unique brand of verse.
