I am gay, and my
spouse’s parents are homophobic
Genealogy’s ties are ruthlessly strict and toxic
How the bullying tears and screams of my
spouse’s parents
Make our landlord appear as tame as our fellow tenants
We, the sick human species, prey upon our own
Then, we chit-chat about our “righteousness” and “sin”
Go believe that the world is changing, as if by magic
I am gay, and my spouse’s parents are homophobic
