Asks a Price
Consideration asks a price
a quota given to admit
those desiring passage to
the lettered realms confirming self
these domains are only blessed
by occupants residing there
it’s no wonder that obstacles
are erected as consequence
identity is denied
as a measure that complies
with the checklist written by
experts docked with battle scars
instead dire standards are applied
disregarding pretentious folks
deemed so by their eager wills
to exist outside of ills.

Those of Failed Worth
Replacement is a mark of worth
gauged by those who hear the voice
of a world that seems to care
for dollar’s sake and dogma’s bane
one dictates a bottom line
measured by where profits lie
with the spreadsheet all shall know
who shall come and who shall go
the other measures in degrees
already stated by piety
with no room to deviate
from the bane of belief’s state
one or the other will decide
what’s of value and what’s denied
leaving those of failed worth
to wonder why the world has turned.

We've Come A Long Way
We've come a long way, sweetheart.
Longer than before we crossed paths.
Before our parents were born.
I thank the spirits for bringing us together at a time where we can stand together.
I cry for those who had gone through the trials of pain and prejudice.
Yesterday, we've hidden in fear.
Today, we come out of our closets.
Longer than before we crossed paths.
Before our parents were born.
I thank the spirits for bringing us together at a time where we can stand together.
I cry for those who had gone through the trials of pain and prejudice.
Yesterday, we've hidden in fear.
Today, we come out of our closets.

A Single Sprig
Sometimes the forest hides the trees
concealing rainbows in the green
when the color meant for most
is the pigment denied by one
the rare exception hides among
the mighty giants of the glade
dictating life of the less
those sprouts seeking something else
a single sprig cut from the sun
by the breadth of canopy
without a path to extend
beyond the grove set in time
a splash of color is allowed
just a glimpse as seasons turn
still the theme must be adhered
to be a tree and nothing more.

Gender That Confirms
Affection of the female kind
just the friendship finally found
is the salve for the questing heart
coming from a former self
without confusion that the meek
is the state for woman’s grace
just as fierce with wit that cuts
in defense of worldly strikes
the communal behind a veil
a front exacted against the pain
allowing entry of the type
once existing on the far side
now entranced by support
once estranged before the turn
to the gender that confirms
affection from the female kind.

Embellishments
In my world, there are
boys just as pretty as girls
holding hands with
girls as handsome as boys
For some, effort's required
or it comes naturally wired;
there's plenty of variation under the sun
in my world
In my world
in my world
under the sun
there resides
plenty of people with bitter, ugly insides
spewing a whole lotta hellish resentments
making a lot of needless noise
because they have no control
over those boys who just want to be girls
over those girls who just want to be boys...
boys just as pretty as girls
holding hands with
girls as handsome as boys
For some, effort's required
or it comes naturally wired;
there's plenty of variation under the sun
in my world
In my world
in my world
under the sun
there resides
plenty of people with bitter, ugly insides
spewing a whole lotta hellish resentments
making a lot of needless noise
because they have no control
over those boys who just want to be girls
over those girls who just want to be boys...

Carrie
The closet always had its mysteries
The choices come and always tease
In your mind carry a subconscious mutiny
To twist that masculinity
Was it the skirts his father wore
That pleated kilt the sporrans draw
The flare and bounce as on he strode
Shapely legs with flesh exposed
For he would dress the same as that
With some femininity attached
Jean Harlow look that sultry vamp
Disguised always with a Philip Marlowe mac
Dark alleys where the clans all meet
A world of intrigue lies and cheats
A...

Moves to Shock
There are two ways this could go
when the measure has been resolved
of whether nature moves to shock
or boredom is the end result
shame is assumed without proof
humiliation only found
with a result that mortifies
death by variety that fills a life
while reality says otherwise
tedium becomes the norm
apathy fills the void
when existence is switched about
the latter is the sad result
embarrassment put aside
in diversity the truth is known
comparisons become too trite.

The New Puerto Rico
Maria,
There is a new wind that blows in Puerto Rico
Flags fly on Borinqueñ breath
Mi gente, canta!
Chants channel a rain dance of democracy,
demonstrate dignity,
deliver a name our children can be proud of.
Rosselló, no more!
It’s not enough to know our heritage
Trump we built a wall to combat sacrilege
out of light skin and dark skin
out of the power of women
Out of gay men and straight men
and humans
that share the same goals.
in memory of the thousands of Tiano souls.

Please Pardon
Please pardon if I celebrate
the lack of gender in the main
penning works without reference
to the bits of natal flesh
each has their own to flit about
these are separate from the wish
to find comfort outside of self
even as the pundits howl
staid purity in their eyes
will not stain my lurid prose
when all embrace because of lust
based on desire and not control
emotions reign without regard
to the strictures of righteousness
they’re all based on dogma’s call
to build tall walls between pure love ...
