Trigger Warning

when i was 3, i could sing
the batman theme.

the family was impressed.
uncle would request

batman tapes from
that guy mom

knew across the way
from grandfather’s place.

i was told i had ‘speech issues.’
i would often misuse

‘a’s. warm became worm.
harm became home.

i’ve mostly figured words out,
except with a cock in my mouth.

u swallow and take a body
out a body. later u shit a body.

i won’t get into why,
but when i was five

i thought a gay man
was a stay at home dad.

when i told dad’s friend
he was the first gay man

i met, he kicked
my ass. when i said shit

shit and got scared
and came in ur hair,
it’s cause i remembered.
