excitement overloaded

verse one:

i bought a new car
my very own new car
it's white with funny looking headlights
and a sweet curvy roof
that the manufacturers call "swaying"
i call it lola--it's obviously a girl
a horn that's low pitched and alto
a slender form that squeezes through traffic
and all. my. very. own.
lola makes me happy in my Deep Insides.

verse two:

for my birthday, my parents gave me a flat box

when i asked what was in it, they said 'plates'

why would i need plates? i asked, i mean

it's very sweet of you, but i'm inundated with plates

i have a lot of plates, i will never run out

it made me wonder if they knew me at all, because

really

PLATES?

and then i opened it and i was sorry for doubting them

because it was a macbook air

and it's gorgeous and i call him macdreamy

and it has changed my life

if life = the amount of time you spend on the internet.

verse three:

my book came out quietly

like a gay man at a straight party

it's sort of lurking by the umbrella stand

sometimes, when i'm passing a bookstore

i pop in to see if it's alive.

i had a party for it
it was a good party
fittingly, it was at a club
where people whisper to you
"do you know this is a GAY club?"
