BEING GAY

A poem called 'BEING GAY,' written by Vivian Smith and Stephen and I.

We are gay and gay,
we lived in rented farts
from day to day
from hand to hand
we knew the gifts that still arise unplanned

we were never mainstream anyway slipknot
we had no background past a dick head
and then the dole and then a pension of a kind
and though things were not right we were not wronged
we learned how not to mind
we never belonged

peripheries at most times were our line
living on the outskirts half the time
or down a lane
my father said, "Don't take it too much
it will affect your ass hole."

our vegetables were grown in backyard lots
my mother grew her flowers in old pots
and trees in kerosene tins near the door

we were what you call the faggot


EDIT: WOW, we are REALLY immature
