Jenga democracy

If you are not careful,

democracy will crumble

under the weight of

out-of-control capitalism

like Jenga blocks when

you delicately tried

for just one more.

More courage

It takes more courage

to bend a little

toward each other

rather than

to break your bond

of humanity.

I hope we get some.

Balls

It’s not easy being different

In this world. I suppose

It never really has been.

Specifically for a shy little

Gay boy buckled in the rural

South who didn’t have the

Balls the drag queens did.
