Subversive - A Collection of Poetry - 2. The Trail We Blaze
The Trail We Blaze
My sense of adventure blooms when I get to hold
hands with another boy and not immediately be
considered his brother or his friend
or be afraid for his security or mine
My sense of adventure takes flight when a girl asks out
a boy and not immediately be considered a whore or gets
to say no to a boy when she doesn't like him
or likes another girl may be
My sense of adventure marches on when the true worth
of a human being's emotions is not weighed on the chunks
of flesh they carry or the skeletons in the closets they hide
or the gold in their pockets
Stuff like this shouldn't be topics of poetry
but off paper these letters have little worth
In my dreams, Tulio gets to kiss Miguel
