watching mocking
bird and hummingbird
and one intimidated sparrow
he would rather have
a criminal son who’s
straight than a national
athlete son who’s gay
America the high school country
molested by slavery as a child
now shorn of the ideals
of his early years
a bit of a bully and a bit of a creep
but brilliant so brilliant
it makes me weep
