Poetry, is sort of gay. Like Cricket and Beauregard and clemency and podcasts and Seasonal Color Analysis I feel naked without rhyme and meter Like when a bitch drags me into Sephora or Victoria's Secret I don't belong here. Where's that frilly pink shit babe I hate all this it's fucking gross anyway a few months back I spilled milk in my fridge and being well-acquainted with the famous adage my dry eyes watched as it fermented into Yogurt an acquired taste for sophisticated palettes and strong stomachs the thing is you never really leave high school unless you're me and graduate when you're fourteen by shamelessly cheating your way through an online program on your Laptop. Can you guys explain what high school is like? I've learned Faustian Bargains are their own drug first you develop a habit and then it becomes a tolerance and before you know it you're sticking your hand in the fuckin toaster just to get out of bed in the morning Predator pimp, or simpering simp? Likely to fuck, or confoundable cuck? He said, She said, You said, Jew said It's hardly Grugga's fault she needs to eat once Grug is dead! yippity yappity, bippity bappity, agency shmagency! That shit works both ways. Is it suddenly a secret the prettiest of petals hide the sharpest of thorns? Take a sniff and get a poke. Simple as. But that shit works both ways. And how lovely it is the both of us can afford such resplendent gloves! Yet I'm not so certain my palette quite extends to Limburger Cheese and perhaps it isn't always unseemly to mourn spilled milk earnestly straightforwardly sans protective mediation Because sometimes the milk was genuinely that good. Also what are they gonna do, call me gay? I'm already writing poetry.

As a poet I affirm that writing poetry is gay but also posit that there’s a poetry horseshoe theory. I think for much of history poetry was the choice way for men to express themselves in a non-gay way, whereas the other side of the coin (the gay side) would be effusive yapping about feelings like a woman. Good poetry is masculine. And even bad poetry can be masculine. But effete poetry is always gay.
