Gay Dads

No Choice(to Carrie Battle)

Beams Against rocks his gasp for breath his last time he strangled for air then the last time he came across the wall

And he wondered who he was

And I wondered as well I wasn’t sure I didn’t think

I only see the light

In motion it sets its time in motion it sets its time up quite well

He set me up quite well too

I held on to you quite well
And I wanted to know who you are

Now I am glad that I do he said

Only When we talk then we hear the cows moving over the fields

And we hear the men moving over them too

He said that’s about it that’s about you

Not about me I think

He said

He said that’s not about me

I said I knew it always was

The same way I would describe it would just
Be that way
I think but who the hell would be The room
Is
He and I hear
The room is he
And I hear too we hear it all
We
Always
Say
No one
Knows
Do they
And no one runs away

I felt that same
Snap
She
Said she’ll
Be drained
And come back as the a flock of birds that’s what will
Snap
Her
Out of it she’ll
Implode
Against the light
And then
They
Will
All implode
Against the light
I will implode
Against the light
Too

He said I will feel the thing that drains me and I will feel the room
That drains me
He said
I only
Come
Here
To see
All the light and the light again and the women who
Call me
Up
Again
And the men who said
Oh
Wait
You aren’t alive
You
Are tossed out
Yes I said I know I am
He
Said yes
I
Do know that I am but do you know
That you are too
Yes
You
Will
Always
Know that you are
And he said
I will always
Know
That I am
The thing
Is will
You
Know who you
Are if you end up
Destroyed
There
He said
I know I will know what I know about you




























The same disease as the one that Got Them all( To Bobby Sands)

I had to thank you
I thought even though we’d never meet
For the fact
That you reminded me the value
Of what I had to
Lose to be who I am now
That
Was a hard thing
Birds outside
A window
Bars that hold you
In and hold me in too
Since
I refuse as did you
To
Be held down bye some thing
That thinks it’s greater than you
Are and
I
But
We were lucky
To
Learn that
It
Wasn’t
That it was just the same
As
Us
You
Had no fear in the end
When
You
Transcended it
Either
Do I
Now
I figured
Fuck
Them
All
Most of them
Won’t care
What I felt
But a lot will thanks to you
They Said Where , Now (for Andrea Musher)

Holding on he thought but why should I have to do that ?

I once wondered why I should have to
And
Then
I realized that none of us
Had any choice
If
Any of us
Did then we wouldn’t know it

Now we know that none of us
Have that choice to make
We
Know
Who we all are
We know that none of us
Love us
And we that none of us
Know who I am
But I know who all of you are
I know that
All of you
Must make sure
That I get
What I want
When
I turn the tables
I said
I will
Turn
The tables
He said
I only
Can go on
He said
Yes
I can only go
If I turn these tables
If I can
Only
Go
On
Then
Let
Me
Go on

I saw the red light
Hit the black
Light
Make
Sure it
Hits
That light
An d make sure
That
Light
Hits
Whats
There
Right in front of it
We
Won’t
Hide
In
Cars
There
Won’t
Be anything
Else
No one
Else
Will
Make us disintegrate
The
Way
I did in front of you

Just
Make
Sure
That
We make sure
That it’s not us
