I guess my dad handicapped me:
With iron fists and alcohol breath,
He showed me a path to anger,
He brought me closer to death.
I cheated his on-hand lessons
To follow my sexual heart,
And thought myself so strong and proud
To escape the gay, body mart.
But men who are lovers become fathers,
Eventually, soon or late,
Iron breath is replaced by cold fancy,
Waiting a line away from hate.
So dad conceived a wriggly sperm,
That he thought wriggled out way too wrong,
So here the poor thing vainly sits and writes,
Still hoping to seem strong through this song.

Hoax
Life robs you of joy, of hope, of hunger;
It never stops taking;
And the heart never dies,
Although it silently keeps on breaking.
One brings you to the precipice of faith
And prevents the fall;
The other gifts feeling
And then asks you to surrender it all.
Would I, Should I?
If I was young
You would see me;
Would I give up hope
For temporary vanity?
If I was beautiful
You would see me;
How insubstantial
Would I have to be?
If I was rich
You would see me;
Does bought amity
Come with a guarantee?
If I was ambitious
You would see me;
Would that secure
Inviolability?
If I just love
You can’t see me,
Should I forget you
To assure my sanity?
