They were fighting again and she didn't know why
They wouldn't tell her
She asked Calvin once, but he just shook his head, and walked away
She wanted to know, because whatever it was, it was eating her brother up inside
It was making him argue with their mother
But the only word that kept resurfacing every time, they fought was "gay"
She wondered what that meant
She didn't know
Because children aren't born knowing what that word means
Nor are they born knowing to hate people who are
