Why Am I Upset?
Wanting To Bring A Good Man Home
Things get so
Complicated.
Is he good?
Is he bad?
You just can’t tell by
The look of a face
Does the smile scream of
A deceit?
Does the frown show
Pain?
Does the smile show goodness?
Does the frown show evil disdain?
Smile. Frown.
Smile. Frown.
Wanting to bring a good man
Home.
Instead of being alone.
Wishing I were arranged
At birth
To a babe
Who would be taught to know
My worth
But not in money
But in love
Men I find are either
Married or gay
Know I’m hard working
And only want my hard-earned pay.
Why am I upset?

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
