a bad gay guard
they keep saying i’m a bad guy
by nat raum
in the garden behind my toddler
gymnastics center, probably near
where we once found the live garter
snake, i am playing bad guys
with the boys of Rebounders.
they keep saying i’m a bad guy
& bad girl doesn’t feel like the right
way to say it so i say i’m a bad gay
(which is ironic considering
i would later be such a bad gay that i
didn’t know i was even gay until i was almost
twenty one) & the boys say i’m a bad guy
guard & i have always wanted
to belong so i say i am a bad gay guard
& we’re three so no one questions me.
