alien questions that we can't answer
We knew
they existed
before they knew how to stand and walk and breathe.
We sowed
the seeds
of evolution on this bluish-green marble
floating
in this tiny little galaxy they've named candy bars after.

life

fairy tale children
slipping out of eyesight
through windows
and out back doors
in the dark of night
with only the stars as witnesses.
slipping through thick forests
carrying sweet-smelling woven baskets

High flies the flag
Of rainbow equality
Red, orange, yellow
We chant, chant, chant
Purple fingers clasp blue
As we chant, chant, chant
High flies the flag

how she feels
about me
hoping she understands
why i blush every time her name is mentioned

City in the Rain
my feet carried me through
the crowded streets of
new york city, where everyone is
constantly jostling to be noticed, for space,
for a chance in the bright white spotlight of fame.
but in new york city, everything is
Loves

I’m not brave enough to write his name
We made a bet when we were sixteen.
Actually, you were fifteen.
I knew I’d lose. I did it so you would continue to speak to me. I liked seeing you care about something healthy.
Is that okay to say?

Be Bored
I've been thinking recently a lot about my time on screens, and how it seems like I can't escape my phone and other technology.

My Coming Out Story
Growing up when I was younger, I was raised in a very homophobic, transphobic family. I was taught that being anywhere on the LGBTQ spectrum was evil and would send you to hell.
