LOU RASMUS

When I tell my friends
that I write poetry,
they usually tell me
that I’m a faggot.
And then I tell them
that they shouldn’t call
people faggots.
I say it’s offensive.
But then they say
that it’s only offensive
to faggots.
And so I let it go.
I turn to my phone.
And I start writing
a poem about how my
friends love sucking
dick.
Those faggots.
