What's in Cheyenne?


It was a hot & windy day
Once upon a time
Grit in my shoe
Sand blasting my face
I press on & stumble
Dog is my trusty companion
100 miles to Cheyenne
You stay to watch the farm

Everybody already knew me
I didn't believe them
I don't believe them still
When they speak to me
I look around
Oh that's who they think I am

It was hot & windy
Once upon a time
Grit in my boot
Sand in my eyes
Dust in my throat
Dog knows the way home
Again I stumble & fumble

Suddenly the wind is calm
I see our cabin chimney smoking
You out front waiting & waving
Glass of water in one hand
Loaded shotgun in the other
Your smile like a bonfire 
My trans cowboy has been safe
Hot & gritty your embrace

A hot bath A hot meal
A few drinks A few puffs
Infinity are the stars
Bitter cold the turn of season 
Two quilts surround us both
3 days walk each way
Was it worth it? Hell yes
Precious cargo in the pack

Honey please-get-me list was long
Spices & used books
Postal mail from your mom
The newspaper we hate 
But love to read to each other
We seem to have everything
Costume necklace & 2 rings
For our secret entertainment 

Most important cargo of all
The delicate lingerie
To wear tonight on display 
All winter-long in this house
A home for myself & my spouse
Until spring once again
We will travel to Cheyenne.

No gay roles for actual gays

Image
Straight actor plays a gay role. The in-depth discussion reveals strange realities.  (A) Theater & Hollywood are full of gay people. Yet somehow only straight people can be found for gay roles. James Sutton is to be commended for not expressing contempt at gay men. (B) Nostalgia for the bad times of the past. The narrative is that gay life has improved since 2007 when John Paul kissed Craig. That's a false narrative. The gay & lesbian community (LG) now includes straight people (BTQ+). So straights have taken over gay spaces & diluted their gayness. Gay bars have disappeared since European countries became Muslim. Gay life is more dangerous than ever. And straight people don't understand. They don't feel it. Also many political gays are blinded to the everyday reality of gay people. First kiss John Paul & Craig 2007.

Rejects what he's looking for

Image
Resting bitch face is a blessing? No it's not. You complain nobody tries to pick you up. Yet people flirt with you all the time. So at the bar, you hit on a guy. He thinks you're the hottest person at the venue. You reject him because he's looking for a relationship; the thing you say you're looking for. WARNING stay clear of this  confused person.

Meddling mother means well

Image
Dad: What gives you a boner? Son: I'm 17. Everything gives me a boner. Your mom means well. She thinks you're gay. You think so too. Until mom steals your identity & applies for an LGBT scholarship to pay for your college. Now the entire school thinks you're gay. And straight girls are suddenly super-attracted to you. So you start to doubt your gayness. You're a virgin. So you don't really know. Lucky for you, bi-questioning counts as gay. "Helicopter Mom" (2014) on Tubi & other platforms. TV-14.
