Ezekiel J. Krahlin http://surf.to/gaybible -------------------------------------------------------------- STATUS QUO ©1998 by Ezekiel J. Krahlin My parents are the status quo That makes me into a child of woe. My brother is a former jock, Now potbellied and cold as rock. My shrink says my insanity Can all be cured by chemistry. My brothers use their sex and faces To say I have no saving graces. The State of California owns me But certainly does not condone me. My building managers are alcoholic bitches Inflicting wounds that can't be healed by stitches. But worst of all, the man I love Tears my wings, like hawk-to-dove. ---finis
