My Boyfriend, Truman Capote
I’m sure I would have dated Truman Capote
I’m sure I would have sucked him off, too.
me and him
talk of the town
as they say
them homosexuals
as they say
them faggots gonna run the country
as they say
them faggots gonna steal our children
as they say
them faggots gonna shove our morals up their assholes and moan with pleasure
as they say
them faggots gonna make us get on our knees until we choke up our rights
as they say
but it’s okay
because we’re great together or were or never will be but are in a sense in a mind in a dream in an HBO special in a science-fiction in America
(in America?)
and that matters.
if they could just see his eyes
if they could just see me through his eyes
but their eyes are too small and too red and too bloody and too violent and too ignorant and too shallow and too arrogant and too righteous and too bloated and too sick
