a jewish father

by whitehorse


you said that lesbians own dogs
and homosexuals own cats
because they both represent the sex
that that person wants to be

except you called them fags
and the women carpet munchers

and you said that they should be forced
to tell the world that they were gay.

like a badge? i asked
how about a yellow star?

as the ghost of mathew shepard
steps into the headlights of your car

so we are driving through the ditch
and i am looking at that tree

thanking god that since im dying
hes taking you out with me.
