"Now I accept that facing the difficult is part of the heroic journey of writing, a preparation, a ritual of sanctification--that it is through this arduous process of grappling with words that writing becomes my true home, a place of solace and comfort." bell hooks

Are You A Bottom?
Are you a bottom?
Hey boo! How you doin’?
I’m chill, just fabulous as always, you know
So I was wondering…. Someone like you,
Tall
Thin,
Well dressed,
Skinny jeans,
Well-groomed hair
(Don’t talk about my hair)
I mean,
Fem,
All Jeweled up,
Mhmmmm
So are you a bottom?
You presumptuous, self-hating, hyper-masculine, stupid motherfucker
NO I AINT NO DAMN BOTTOM! Ugh
Are you a bottom?
Out since 12,
Sexually active since 13,
Seven years of…
Are you a bottom?
Never given the top or vers option,
Just cornered to the bottom capacity.
Are you a bottom?
Older brown man at the post office,
He was 25,
I was 14,
Riding through the ghetto streets of H.P,
We pull up,
Living in his parents garage,
He sets me down,
He never asks,
Just assumes,
I lay in silence and play the role.
Are you a bottom?
Men for sex now. Com
White top looking for Latino bottom,
I reply,
He replies,
He picks me up,
29,
And I am 16,
His pale skin rubs my brown back,
“que suave”
I giggle at his stupid attempt to speak mi lenguage,
I bottomed,
He topped,
And for the next four pale faces I bottomed,
And they,
Exotified,
Objectified,
And Topified.
Are you a bottom?
Never asked and never assumed,
22,
And I was 19,
He rubbed me down,
And never butchered mi lenguage,
Kissed my forehead,
All the way down to the tips of my toes,
Wait….
Am I the bottom?
Shhh,
Baby it don’t matter,
Close your eyes,
Breathe,
And go with the rhythm of our spirits making love.
Are you a bottom?
6 years,
And I will never be a bottom,
Nor a top,
Vers maybe,
But fluid always!
Are you a bottom?
Pale face of 21,
My brown face of 20,
He calls me “papacito”
I call him racist,
NEXT,
Mexicano de edad 20,
Yo Chicano de la misma edad,
He doesn’t dare to ask,
Nor assumes,
I lay, never in silence and never playing the role.
Are you a bottom?
Hey boo, how you doing?
I’m chill, just fabulous, as always you know,
So I was wondering,
Someone like you,
Tall,
Thin,
Skinny jeans,
Well groomed hair,
Oops! Sorry I won’t talk about your hair,
I mean,
Fem,
All jeweled up,
Mhmmmmmm,
So you fluid tonight?
You inclusive, conscious, self-loving, street smarts, motherfucker!
I’m a free bitch baby!
I’M ALWAYS FLUID!

Two Days Left
If I were to die, I would want it to be because of love. The good kind though. Not the kind that becomes an obsession that your life comes to an end because a lover has caged you. But the kind where you're physically incapable of loving that the only way to continue to love is to liberate your spirit from your physical being. That's the good kind. The kind I hope puts me to sleep.
