And We'Re Gay

We run, we jump, we cry, we laugh, We sit, we stand, we're weak, we're tough, We're fat or slim, we swag and sway... We love like you love, and we're gay. In morning light, you slumber still: Familiar form against my chest, It is your favourite place to rest. I tickle you with senseless skill. You make espresso, I fix bread We yawn in unison, and smile You dress in orange, your own style, I love you (I already said) We run, we jump, we cry, we laugh, We sit, we stand, we're weak, we're tough, We're fat or slim, brown-haired or gray We love like you love, and we're gay. You push my chair, we walk the dogs The weather nice, trees green and lush You kiss my lips, I chastely blush Only observed by croaking frogs We're not so different, Can't you see? So don't be ignorant Just let us be. We run, we jump, we cry, we laugh, We sit, we stand, we're weak, we're tough, We're fat or slim, we work, we play We love like you love, and we're gay. *** March 18, 2017 Sponsor Laura Loo 3do place in Contest: Any Poem Written In March
