Yesterday but Today

A sad song warned me 
Yesterday but today
A new vibe is in town
Nothing can bring me down

Smiles & stares to begin
Your surrender lets my heart win
The jackpot is too hot
Not to take a chance on romance
Tie the knot

A sad song calmed my heart
Yesterday but today
A new vibe has come out
To play rough & shout
Happy in the empty vastness
As we dance I whisper poetic verses
Not a dry eye in the room
When my love lowers the boom

A sad song made me cry
Yesterday but today
When I think about you
My heart is lifted to the sky
A new vibe is in town
Nothing can bring me down.

(3/6/2024. Gay Love & Romance)

Theme Song for this Poem
Yesterday Once More by The Carpenters

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.

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.

You pass Inspection

Image
Your mom won't accept you as gay. If you die in the ghetto, it means nothing. If you die in uniform, it means something to someone somewhere. So you join the Marine Corps. Your fellow recruits discover you're gay when they see your ERECTION in the communal shower. You're beat up & ostracized. But you hang in there. Slowly other trainees start to defend you.  One of the drill sergeants takes up for you when the other instructors join the gay taunting & mistreatment. You misinterpret that as your drill sergeant is secretly gay. Maybe. In the final field exercise, you follow him into the shower. You make a pass. He didn't help you because you're gay. He helped you because it's his job to help recruits. You are not the first gay Marine. Your ghetto mom shows up to Basic Training graduation. She forgets you're gay. When reminded, she makes a scene in the dining hall & calls you out as gay. The crowd chant their support for you. Your mom regrets she di...
