i swear 

if i see 

the word forbidden

in one more queer poem 

im going to flip my shit

the cliche is tired

we are all tired 

of being forbidden 

in your poetry 

in poetry 

you can be anything

you can be everything

you can be free as the wind 

you can be as true as birdsong 

and you can sing 

sing your love as song and true 

as the lovebirds do
