I’m not homophobic
My son is gay.
I’m not a racist
My best friend is black.
You tell me as you
Tie your tie
Lace your shoes
Grab your bag of literature
And
Go.
I love you,
Not
What you do.
What I do is who I am
So If you love me
Then you love what I do
_________________________________________________________________________
Choose God
Or
this
How, I wonder.
Why, I wonder.
What does it mean
When you tell me you
Love the sinner, but
Hate
The sin.
Love
Hate
Love
Hate
White
Black
All
None
Black
White
No
Grey
I love Grey.
I watch you sit there
On the phone
I love you, mom,
You say.
I love you for saying it.
You look at me and smile
What?
Nothing.
Why were you looking at me like that?
I just love you, that’s all.
We said I LOVE YOU for the first time last week
And every five minutes since
I love you too
You kiss me on the cheek as you lift
From the couch
Basketball shorts
White t-shirt with yellow tacos in the armpits
You are ugly
Tennis shorts
Green hoodie covered in blond dog hair
I am ugly
We are cute that way
I remember when
I remember when our lips
I remember when our lips first met
Like very old friends reuniting
That moment transcended
Sex
Became more than
Me
Fulfilled me
By making me one half of Us.
I was
Liberated
Rejuvenated
Free
Safe
Happy
I felt forgiven
Kissing for repentence
