Online Dating for Queers

Poem

I’m growing frustrated I put myself out there Constantly, you have to There is no choice in it

The bars are all closed now Call it “community” Yet I feel so alone Yet we feel so alone Don’t we? That’s why we’re here

I’m here because I must How else would I find you An eventual thing It remains to be seen Our loneliness for sale

So we’ll keep on coming To find something better And maybe better yet Let’s do it again now Cast our nets, see what’s there Something better for sure

We’ll be here forever Alone yet together A perpetual state Wanting better and more We deserve it of course

I’m special so she says I’m handsome so she says I love you so she says Yet it is not enough

So compromise we must Accept my scars you must Accept your scars I must But you won’t, and I won’t

Because we are special And we deserve better
