Dear straight people,
I don't think God has a sexual orientation,
But if she were straight she'd be a dope ally.

You tell me what happened to Jorge Mercado ?
Sakia Gunn ? Lawrence King ?
What happened to the souls alienated in between too many high school walls, who planned the angles of their death in maths class, who imagined their funeral as ticker - tape parades, who thought the afterlife was more like an afterparty ?
Did you notice the hate is alive and well in too many lunchrooms,
Taught in the silence of too many teachers, passed down like second class clothing from too many parents ?

Dear queer young girl, I see. You don't want them to see you so you change the pronouns in your love poems to "him" instead of "her"
I used to do that.
Dear straight people, you make young poets make bad edits.
Dear straight people, kissing my girlfriend in public without looking to see who's around is a luxury I do not fully have yet.
But tonight I am drunk in my freedom,
Grab her hand of the  busiest street corner in Philadelphia zip my figures into hers and press our lips firmly until we meet their stares into a standing ovation, imagine that we are in a sea of smiling faces, even when we're not and when we're not, we start shovelling digging deep into each other's eyes, we say,
" Hey, baby kin not gonna stop this tonight",
because tonight, this world is broken and we're the only thing that's going to keep it together. 🧡
